Hi,

I would like to be able to query for `quick b* f*` in an index containing : `quick brown fox`, `q brown fox`, `q brown asd eoigj dfg fox`. This query must just return `quick brown fox`. Additionally, a search for `q brown fox` should only match `q brown fox`

I have tried using an edge n-gram analyzer at index time, with a query such as:

```
{
 "query_string": {
    "quote_field_suffix": ".exact",
    "query": "\"q\" b",
    "default_operator": "AND"
  }
}

```

In the example I've given above, I've also provided the documents with an `exact` field at index time, as in the example given on [this page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/recipes.html#mixing-exact-search-with-stemming), which enables us to exclude `quick brown fox` from the query results. I also specified the `search_analyzer` to be `standard` upon creating the index.

Unfortunately, this solution will still include `q brown asd eoigj dfg fox`. Does anybody know how I could also enforce that `\"q\"` and `b*` should be adjacent when I'm using `quote_field_suffix` in a `query_string` query?
