Hi,  
Is there a way to mix search of words in distance, where one word is exact and the other one isn't, with query\_string?  
something like:  
`(Exact("Fox") quick)~2`  
Is it a combination of quote\_field\_suffix (as in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/mixing-exact-search-with-stemming.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/mixing-exact-search-with-stemming.html) ) with something else?  
In mappings, the field is indexed as analyzed string but I also use copy to another field where there is no analyzer.
