This is not how ranges works.

You have full examples here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/range.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/range.html)

If you don't succeed to make it work provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer.
