Elasticsearch function_score with nested_objects - elasticsearch

Question

I have a problem with a query.I used a query for boosting documents with no nested_objects. Now i use nested_objects and changed the query to use a nested filter but nothing is boosted.
I get the documents i expected but with no _score changes.
Am i doing something wrong ??
GET index/type/_search
{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"term": {
"parent.child": "test"
}
}
]
}
},
"functions": [
{
"boost_factor": "100",
"filter": {
"nested": {
"path": "parent",
"filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"term": {
"child": "test"
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
],
"score_mode": "sum"
}
},
"sort": "_score",
"from": 0,
"size": 320
}
EDIT:
Could it be caused by
nested filter
A nested filter behaves much like a nested query, except that it
doesn’t accept the score_mode parameter. It can only be used in
“filter context” — such as inside a filtered query —  and it behaves
like any other filter: it includes or excludes, but it doesn’t score.
While the results of the nested filter itself are not cached, the
usual caching rules apply to the filter inside the nested filter.

As the documentation says:

I get the feeling your JSON should look closer this (maybe not exactly though, I havent tested it).
{
"query": {
"function_score": {
"query": {
"nested": {
"path": "parent",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"term": {
"parent.child": "test"
}
}
]
}
}
}
},
"functions": [
{
"boost_factor": "100"
}
],
"score_mode": "sum"
}
},
"sort": "_score",
"from": 0,
"size": 320
}
Specifically, you dont want to filter the boost_factor, you just want to boost this function_score by 100. The actual nested query though goes in the query section of the function_score, and the functions section just contains the boost_factor. I think.
