Hello, I am currently using elasticsearch 7.x and when searching for a term "exécution" using simple\_query\_string -\> the elasticsearch highlight returns -\> l'exécution, is there a possibility via elasticsearch that we can search only for the "word" ignoring the "french elision" here? Thanks for your help in advance.
