Hi,  
I'm combining match query(boolean) and match query(prefix) into bool query.  
{  
"bool" : {  
"must" : [ {  
"match" : {  
"field" : {  
"query" : "query\_1",  
"type" : "phrase\_prefix"  
}  
}  
}, {  
"match" : {  
"field" : {  
"query" : "query\_2",  
"type" : "boolean"  
}  
}  
} ]  
}  
}

I want to add fuzziness, but the problem is that I want to have sum of  
Levenshtein distance to be equal to 1 for both queries. Other words to make  
one mistake only in first or only in second query. Is it possible?  
Thank you in advance.
