It seems to me that a multimatch query with type phrase\_prefix does not  
support fuzziness ... but a multimatch query with type match\_phrase\_prefix  
does.

I like the results from phrase\_prefix better than match\_phrase\_prefix, is  
there any way to add fuzziness?

Slop works for phrase\_prefix, but fuzziness does not.

I'm using 0.90.10
