Search fuzzy when normal search returns no results?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

is it possible to automatically repeat a search in fuzzy mode when (and
only when) the normal search return no results?
Or is this something I need to do in the backend by simply sending another
request?

Thanks, Joa

Not that i know of. Instead I use the suggestion API to provide the users with "did you mean" options rather than using a fuzzy search. This has the advantage of sometimes suggesting better phrases even when the users's search found results.
