When following the documentation about query\_sting and auto\_generate\_phrase\_queries,  
[Query string query | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-top-level-params), is suggest that elastic 7.5 does indeed support auto\_generate\_phrase\_queries, but when I try, I get this error

I think it was the kibana auto-compleate that caused me trouble  
When I typed out "auto\_generate\_synonyms\_phrase\_query" everything worked fine.
