I'm currently on a project which need to search fuzzily on a whole field, not fuzzy with words (or terms), so that I need the tokenizer "keyword". My question is, can the phonetic plugin at [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-analysis-phonetic](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-analysis-phonetic) cooperate with that type of tokenizer?

The phonetic plugin brings a Token Filter. So it can be combined with whatever tokenizer you want.

Thank you for your answer. I'm applying it. But I found a problem that, it seems like **fuzzy like this** and **phonetic search** could not work together !?  
For example:  
Searching with "leonorex" will not match "leonore" (I think adding "x" will make the word's pronunciation different than the origin), but I would like to have "leonorex" match with "leonore" (based on fuzzy search), how can I archive this?.  
Glad if I could hear some solution, thank you very much !
