Now we have difficulty querying here.

I want to adjust [precision-tuning](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/precision-tuning.html) to a low level (less than 8), and I don't want it to use `Fuzzy queries`.

I also don't find a parameter like [fuzziness](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.8/common-options.html#fuzziness) to control it.

Is there any other idea to achieve it?

Hi @ZE_Share !

There is no way at the moment to fine-tune precision tuning to not using fuzziness below value 8.

As a workaround, you could obtain the underlying Elasticsearch query that is being used via the [Search Explain API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/search-explain.html), remove the fuzzy query clause from it, and issue it via the [Elasticsearch search API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/elasticsearch-search-api-reference.html).

You can also check [Search Applications](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/8.8/search-applications.html), which allows you to fine-tune the query to be done to Elasticsearch using templates. Keep in mind that some relevance settings like curations and synonyms are not yet available for Search Applications.
