Can you use slop and cut off frequency in the same multi match query?

```
          "multi_match": {
            "fields": [
              "title^1",
              "description^0.5"
            ],
            "query": "process doctor",
            "operator": "and",
            "cutoff_frequency": 0.3,
            "type": "phrase",
            "slop":1000
          }

```

It doesn't give an error but changing the cut off frequency doesn't change the results.
