Hello!
I try to implement fuzzysearch like explained here [How to Use Fuzzy Query Matches in Elasticsearch | HackerNoon](https://hackernoon.com/how-to-use-fuzzy-query-matches-in-elasticsearch-dh1h3167) - but get strange results.
```auto
{
"query": {
"match" : {
"term": {
"query" : "At what age do dogs go into heat?",
"fuzziness": "5"
}
}
},
"size" : 20
}
```
gives me such results
What does it mean when a dog is in heat? (distance - 23)
What does it mean when a dog is in heat? (distance - 29)
etx
My index is
```auto
"db-terms": {
"aliases": {},
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"term": {
"type": "text",
"analyzer": "english"
}
}
},
```
If I change field to "keyword" it makes as
```auto
"term": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
}
```
and result is almost the same
What am I doing wrong ?
