I have an index with +10k documents. If I use Kibana I can find every document without any issue.

Now I do perform the following query searching for "Golden":

```
GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "fuzzy" : {
            "name" : {
                    "value" : "Golden",
                    "boost" : 1.0,
                    "fuzziness" : 3,
                    "prefix_length" : 0,
                    "max_expansions": 100
            }
        }
    }
}

```

It is returing a variety of products, also some products with the name "Golden Toast" which I want to search in the next step. But if I change the value from "Golden" to "Golden Toast", I do not get any results:

```
GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "fuzzy" : {
            "name" : {
                    "value" : "Golden Toast",
                    "boost" : 1.0,
                    "fuzziness" : 3,
                    "prefix_length" : 0,
                    "max_expansions": 100
            }
        }
    }
}

```

That's the result if I am searching for "Golden Toast":

```
{
  "took": 3,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 13,
    "successful": 13,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": 0,
    "max_score": null,
    "hits": []
  }
}

```

Again: if I search for "Golden", I get a bunch of products with the name value "Golden Toast" back.

Where is my mistake?

Thank you and best,

Marcel
