I have "region" field of text type with standard analyzer. Here is my "should" query:

```
"bool": {
  "minimum_should_match": 1,
  "should": [
    {
      "match": {
        "region": {
          "query": "Київ",
          "fuzziness": 4
        }
      }
    }
  ],
}

```

Here is the query prepeared from Search Profiler:

`((region:киев)^0.75 region:київ (region:м.київ)^0.5)`

And I've got all variations of "Київ" but why not with "Київська" which are exist in my index ? I've tried to use more fuzziness up to 20+ but it doesn't help.

Additionally query by string "Київсь" matched "Київська"
