Following query with function score query which gives articles with pub date published after 2014-07 a higher weightage is not working. Any ideas how to do this please?

{  
"from" : 0,  
"size" : 10,  
"query" : {  
"function\_score" : {  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"must" : {  
"multi\_match" : {  
"query" : "influence ",  
"fields" : ["title^10", "description"]  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"range" : {  
"pubdate" : {  
"from" : "2010-01",  
"to" : "2016-08",  
"include\_lower" : true,  
"include\_upper" : true  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"functions" : [ {  
"filter" : {  
"range" : {  
"pubdate" : {  
"from" : "2014-07",
