for a filtered query, according to Elasticsearch 2 documentation -  
Use the bool query instead with a must clause for the query and a filter clause for the filter.

Should the following query ok?  
"from" : 0,  
"size" : 10,  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"must" : {  
"multi\_match" : {  
"query" : "java",  
"fields" : ["title", "description"]  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"bool" : {  
"filter" : {  
"range" : {  
"pubdate" : {  
"from" : "2013-01",  
"to" : "2014-08",  
"include\_lower" : true,  
"include\_upper" : true  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

This does not seem to be a question. You have also asked something that appears to be the same on another thread: [Filtered query in Elasticsearch 2](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filtered-query-in-elasticsearch-2/38430) . Please keep the conversation to one thread to avoid it becoming disjointed
