Elastic Search nested multimatch query

Question

So my problem is basically the same as described here, however it still remains unanswered on the group.

My mapping:

{
    \"abstract\": {
        \"

The only solution that I managed to work out, which is not handy nor elegant but somehow works is such query:

"query": {
    "bool": {
        "should": [
            {
                "nested": {
                    "path": "authors",
                    "query": {
                        "multi_match": {
                            "query": "higgs",
                            "fields": ["last_name^2"]
                        }
                    }
                } 
            },
            {
                "multi_match": {
                    "query": "higgs",
                    "fields": ["abstract.summary^5"]
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

I'm also not sure if the boosting will work as expected, providing it's set in different queries. Any suggestions appreciated.
