Elasticsearch Multimatch Query Field level boost is not working

Hi All,

Field boost applied in Multimatch query is not contributing to the match
score. I have indexed few documents and searching document based on field
'last_name'. I searched with and without field boost using Multimatch
query, both are giving same match score. Can someone explain me this
behavior

PUT /megacorp/employee/1
{
"first_name" : "John",
"last_name" : "Smith",
"age" : 25,
"about" : "I love to go rock climbing",
"interests": [ "sports", "music" ]
}

PUT /megacorp/employee/2
{
"first_name" : "Jane",
"last_name" : "Smith",
"age" : 32,
"about" : "I like to collect rock albums",
"interests": [ "music" ]
}

PUT /megacorp/employee/3
{
"first_name" : "Douglas",
"last_name" : "Fir",
"age" : 35,
"about": "I like to build cabinets",
"interests": [ "forestry" ]
}

POST /megacorp/employee/_search
{ "query" : {"multi_match" : {
"query": "Smith",
"fields": [ "last_name" ] ,
"analyzer" : "standard"
}}
}

POST /megacorp/employee/_search
{
"query" : {"multi_match" : {
"query": "Smith",
"fields": [ "last_name^5" ] ,
"analyzer" : "standard"
}}
}

Thanks,
Sarath
