when i search a string like "3d sy" it gives me the result from elastic  
search index document and works fine, but if i search the string like "3d  
s" it gives me no result.  
same thing happened with "Microsoft co", but it works fine for "Microsoft  
cor"

i am using the "match" query for fetching the result.

My Query is :

{"from":0,"size":10, "query":{  
"custom\_score" : {  
"query" : {  
"match" : {"COMPANY" : {"query" : "_3d s_", "type" :  
"phrase\_prefix", "boost":2}}  
},  
"script" : "\_score/\_score \* doc['COUNT'].value"

```
        }
    }

```

}

In the above query i have customized my score, because it's required for me.

can anyone help how to resolve this issue.
