I am trying to search for a phrase where the one of the term i need to search using a wildcard.

This is the index  
`{ "id": 2, "name": "Some Other Pizzaeria"}`

This is the query

```auto
{
	"query": {
        "span_near" : {
        	"clauses" : [
     			{"span_term" : { "name" : "Some" } },
                {"span_term" : { "name" : "Other" } },
                { "span_multi" : { "match": { "wildcard": { "name" : "Pizza*" } } } `}
		     ],
             "slop" : 0,
             "in_order" : true
         }
     }
}

```

This doesn't seem to be working.  
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
