I am indexing a chunk of data (about 5 million records) on Kibana. When I search for a particular value say 'Presbyterian Wellness' I get 6 hits out of which the 6th document is the one I want to be highlighted first.

When I looked at the score of that particular document, I realized it is ranked 6th because of its score.

I am fairly new to the ELK stack, can someone help me some tips on how to increase the score.  
I have tried using function\_score but it only reflects results in the 'Dev Tools' tab and not on 'Discover'. Here's the code snippet:

GET /nppes/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"function\_score": {  
"query": {  
"multi\_match": {  
"fields": ["provider\_first\_name^5",  
"provider\_last\_name^5",  
"provider\_organization\_name^5",  
"provider\_other\_organization\_name^5"],  
"minimum\_should\_match": "2",  
"query": "presbyterian wellness"  
}

}  
}

}  
}
