We have a requirement where we want to do a wildcard kind of search along with fuzzy search.

So consider a field with below values :

1. aero123
2. aero1
3. dynaaero
4. dynaaeromatic

If user searches for any of these : aero , aer0, ae, er0i  
All these searches should return the above values  
For wildcard we are using ngrams and fuzzy with auto for fuzzy search.  
However, while doing a fuzzy search it does not consider partial matches  
Is it possible to combine the 2 searches and get results? How ?
