Hi All,

Is there any possibility to combine the fuzzy with the multi\_match phrase Query in ES?.  
As per my understanding the ES span multi term query doesn't support the multi\_match phrase query .  
Please let me know is their any other way to achieve the fuzziness with the multi\_match phrase support.

Thanks.

It's explicitely stated in the docs, that this is not supported.

Maybe if you write instead what you want to achieve including a full blown example, you could get some more help? Playing around with ngrams/shingles etc...
