@spinscale Thanks for the reply.

As you suggested I have applied the word delimiter graph and its working as expected.

As I am using Spring boot + Elasticsearch so I applied the below custom analyser to my document class and set the analyzer to the particular column.

**This is how my custom analyser JSON look like:**  
{  
"index": {  
"analysis": {  
"analyzer": {  
"word\_join\_analyzer": {  
"tokenizer": "standard",  
"filter": [  
"lowercase",  
"word\_delimiter\_graph",  
"custom\_shingle",  
"my\_char\_filter"  
]  
}  
},  
"filter": {  
"custom\_shingle": {  
"type": "shingle",  
"min\_shingle\_size": 2,  
"max\_shingle\_size": 3,  
"output\_unigrams": true  
},  
"my\_char\_filter": {  
"type": "pattern\_replace",  
"pattern": " ",  
"replacement": ""  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Tested with fuzzy search and searched document with and without space it all worked as expected; can you please suggest am I missing something or is there any other better approach. Thanks.
