Hi @Dorian .

Add ~ operator in your [query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-fuzziness).

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "default_field": "title",
      "query": "faast~",
      "fuzziness": 1
    }
  }
}

```
