Hi Members Currently Elastic Search fuzzy search is giving results though it matches the query exactly or related to the query . But how can I separate results with exact matched results and suggested or related match results. Thank you Vinothkumar K ---

There is no explicit way of getting "here are your exact matches" and "here are your matches that required edits to reach a matching term" separated in your results. You may be interested in our [`explain` flag](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/search-request-explain.html) that will give you insight into why a certain hit was chosen. This will expose the matching term and its score calculation. It is a slight pain to programmatically parse, but should give you insight into your resulting matches and which terms your initial query text was "fuzzed" into. ---
