I am trying to get some fuzzy matching setup on a `multi_match` query of a field that has been shingled.

[Here is my mappings and queries](https://gist.github.com/jamesgorrie/a1f7de9fa2fe910fc6bc206a1c6dd365).

Both fuzzy queries match all documents, which is what I would expect.

However on the multi\_match - when searching for `text books`, I only get the document with title `text books` back, not the other.

I was wondering if any light might be shed onto why, or how I might go about debugging this?
