I have a problem with ElasticSearch query phrases. My index document is;

```
    var person = new Person
    {
        Id = "4",
        Firstname = "ali ahmet",
        Lastname = "yazıcı"
    };

var index = client.Index(person, x => x.Index("personindex"));

```

My search phrase is;

```
    var result = client.Search<Person>(s => s
        .From(0)
        .Size(10)
        .Query(q => q
            .SimpleQueryString(qs => qs
                .OnFields(new[]{"firstname","lastname"})
                .Query("\"ali ah*\"")
            )
        )
  );
indent preformatted text by 4 spaces

```

Result document is empty. But when i change my phrase to

```
.Query("\"ali ahmet\"")

```

result is coming. Why return empty result from

```
.Query("\"ali ah*\"")

```

this phrase. Word order is very important for me. First word must be "ali" and second word must be "ah\*".

ALSO

**Person Class**

```
public class Person
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Firstname { get; set; }
    public string Lastname { get; set; }
}

```

**Index mapping**

```
var response = client.CreateIndex("personindex", c => c
            .AddMapping<Person>(m => m.MapFromAttributes())
```
