Here is my ES 1.7.x `match_phrase` query with `fuzziness`

```auto
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/query-dsl-match-query.html
# ES 1.7.x
{
  "match_phrase": {
    "highlightable": {
      "query": "this_is_the_phrase",
      "slop": 10,
      # Handle mis-spellings within the phrase.
      "fuzziness" => 1.0
    }
  }
}

```

I would like to ask if there is any equivalent query in ES 7.1.x that support `fuzziness` option for a `match_phrase` query? AFAIK the `fuzziness` option is [only available for `match` query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-query.html).

Much thanks in advance

EDIT:

I found out there is a way to use `span` combination, see [answer on StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/38823174). However this way is quite cumbersome as it is required that phrase needs to be manually tokenized then automatically get parsed to create list of `span` queries.
