I want to perform span query on different field.  
Use case is like this, i have firstname and lastname indexed and i want to perform fuzzy search first on firstname and then lastname.

Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

Using fuzzy parameter in the match query should work well unless I don't understand the exact use case in which case providing an example is helpful.

I have user mappings as follow-  
{  
"mappings":{  
"viewer":{  
"properties":{  
"type":{  
"type":"text"  
},  
"first\_name":{  
"type":"text"  
},  
"last\_name":{  
"type":"text"  
},  
"email":{  
"type":"keyword"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"settings":{  
"analysis":{  
"analyzer":{  
"default":{  
"type":"standard"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Now i want to perform fuzzy search on first\_name and last\_name, term query on email.  
Suppose if user types "Chris Pitt", then i want to do fuzzy match chris on first\_name and pitt on last\_name, but if the input is only "chris" then i will only go for first\_name fuzzy match and term email query.

Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

Please edit your post.

And provide a script we can fully run to reproduce what you are asking for.
