If I have these two strings:

1. George Orwell is my favorite writer
2. My favorite writers name is George, who was born in 1903 and whose last name is Orwell

Here's the criteria that i would like to apply to my search when searching for 2+ words:

- **search despite spelling mistake (whats does fuzziness)**

- **filter result according distance between passed words (for example in first sentence distance between George and Orwell is 0, cause they are side by side, and in second one I have 10 other words between them). So I want to passed words be side by side in returned result. (what does max\_gaps in intervals query)**

So to tell directly I need to work together in intervals query "fuzziness" and "max\_gaps"

Example:  
Let's search by spelling mistake "George Orwel" - my query should return only first sentence, because it must recognize that George Orwel -\> George Orwell and also distance between these two words is 0;

As I said for me It will be ideal if intervals query had the fuzziness :

```
POST /cases/_search
{
  "query": {
    "intervals" : {
      "firstName" : {
        "match" : {
          "query" : "George Orwl ",
          "max_gaps" : 0,
           **"fuzziness": 6**
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

but it doesn't have. So Have you any ideas how should solve such kind of problem
