Hi all,

Elasticsearch Reference 5.2 doesn't have warning about fuzzy query deprecation. See: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html)

The warning apperead in the documentation for both version 5.0 and 5.1:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html)  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.1/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.1/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html)

Is taht just an omission in the 5.2 reference or does it mean that the query somehow stopped being deprecated?

Fuzzy query deprecation matters to me because of the reasons described here: [Fuzzy query inside spans in elasticsearch 6.x](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/fuzzy-query-inside-spans-in-elasticsearch-6-x/69816)

Thanks in advance for clarification of this issue.

Found an answer to my question: it turns out elasticsearch developers decided to undeprecate the query. See: [https://github.com/javanna/elasticsearch/commit/4bc7a14f0561b0ce18caee075c4d232dbcf666f4](https://github.com/javanna/elasticsearch/commit/4bc7a14f0561b0ce18caee075c4d232dbcf666f4)
