I'm using "match-Boolean-prefix query but I can't get the exact match of the query.I can't use prefix queries because I also need "not exact match" results and I also need the fuzziness and word completion.I get every thing I need by match-boo-prefix query(the fuzziness not work that good though) but my problem is when I'm looking for exact match like "apple" it shows everything that includes "apple" I need the exact match gets higher ranking than others.

```auto
   GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [
                {
                    "match_bool_prefix": {
                        "name": {
                            "query": "apple",
                            "fuzziness": "auto"
                        }
                    }
                },
                {
                    "bool": {
                        "must_not": [
                            {
                                "match": {
                                    "type": "3"
                                }
                            },
                            {
                                "match": {
                                    "type": "4"
                                }
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                },
                {
                    "match": {
                        "status": "A"
                    }
                }
            ],
            "should": [
                {
                    "exists": {
                        "field": "",
                        "boost": 10
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "indices_boost": [
        {
            "index1": 3
        },
        {
            "index2": 1.3
        },
        {
            "index3": 1.5
        }
    ],
    "size": 20
} 

```

the result I'm getting with this query is :

```auto
{
  "took" : 6,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 20,
    "successful" : 20,
    "skipped" : 0,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : {
      "value" : 4970,
      "relation" : "eq"
    },
    "max_score" : 14.451834,
    "hits" : [
      {
        "_index" : "index",
        "_id" : "11434",
        "_score" : 14.451834,
        "_source" : {
           "name" : "Apple Slices With Peanut Butter". 

```

is there any solution for this?
