When I try to search for a document using an exact value, I notice that the desired document is not being properly classified, even when the search value is identical to that contained in the document. This has a negative impact on the score assigned to the document, and I am seeking to understand and correct this discrepancy to improve search accuracy.

Query:

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "fuzzy": {
            "body.provider": "fortune dragon"
          }
        },
        {
          "fuzzy": {
            "body.types": "fortune dragon"
          }
        },
        {
          "fuzzy": {
            "body.tags": "fortune dragon"
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "body.tags": "fortune dragon"
          }
        },
        {
          "fuzzy": {
            "body.name": "fortune dragon"
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "body.name": "fortune dragon"
          }
        },
        {
          "prefix": {
            "body.name": "fortune dragon"
          }
        }
      ],
      "must": [
        {
          "match": {
            "status": "ACTIVE"
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "body.providerStatus": "ACTIVE"
          }
        }
      ],
      "minimum_should_match": 1
    }
  },
  "size": 50,
  "from": 0,
  "sort": [
    {
      "_score": {
        "order": "desc"
      }
    }
  ]
}
