Hi Team

I've indexed few pdf files and using custom analyzer to removes stop words and to lowercase the letters.

Query:

```
GET testindex/_search
{   
  "explain": true, 
  "_source" : "url",
    "query": {
        "match" : {
            "content" : {
                "query" : "keybord not working"
                , "operator": "and",
                        "fuzziness": 1

            }
        }
    }
}

```

When I search this query, I can see that it's also searching for "dot", "got" etc.

Instead as I'm using analyzer to remove stop words, does elasticsearch wont apply analyzer first and then apply fuzzy words to match?
