I would like to find documents containing search text with the last token (may be) uncompleted like `"quick brown f*"` matching **"quick brown fox"** but not **"quick and brave brown fox"**.
It is similar to `match_phrase_prefix`, but I would like to use other possibilities of `simple_query_string`, for example wildcards with another token, not only the last one `"q* brown f*"`, or combinations with non-phrase search (wolf `"quick brown f*"`) etc.
Both obvious approaches `"query":"\"quick brown f*\""` and `"query":"\"quick brown f\"*"` do not work, several combinations with ~1 that I've tried don't work either.
Possible workarounds would also be appreciated.

Any ideas?
