Integrating spellcheck and partial word search with the Drupal Search API

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am attempting to use Elasticsearch with Drupal instead of the usual Solr because Elastic seems to be faster, takes less ram, and has a better structure overall.

My issues are with getting the more advanced features working. As of right now i am successfully using Elastic as the index with the Search API.

I would like to add Spelling correction, and partial word search results. There is a module called fuzzy search that does the trick but it doesn't integrate with the elasticsearch index. Is there a module that exists or some setting within Elastic to make this work?

Yes I think so. I'm still trying to wrap my head around elasticsearch and how it is communicating with drupal.
If I have fuzzy querry. how will Drupal know to search on partial words?

Is this a drupal question or an elasticsearch question that i have?

I believe it's a Drupal question?
Did you try one of the Drupal plugins?

I'm unsure of which query type they run or if they have that fuzzy option...

Looking briefly at the Drupal plugin docs, the following might help you:

(not a drupal expert here though, maybe better to check with the original plugin authors)
