[Docs] Clarify caveats for phonetic filters replace option (#42807)
The `replace` option in the phonetic token filter can have suprising side effects, e.g. such as described in #26921. This PR adds a note to be mindful about such scenarios and offers alternatives to using the `replace` option. Closes #26921

It is important to note that `"replace": false` can lead to unexpected behavior since
|

the original and the phonetically analyzed version are both kept at the same token position.

Some queries handle these stacked tokens in special ways. For example, the fuzzy `match`
|
||||
query does not apply {ref}/common-options.html#fuzziness[fuzziness] to stacked synonym tokens.
|
||||
This can lead to issues that are difficult to diagnose and reason about. For this reason, it
|
||||
is often beneficial to use separate fields for analysis with and without phonetic filtering.
|
||||
That way searches can be run against both fields with differing boosts and trade-offs (e.g.
|
||||
only run a fuzzy `match` query on the original text field, but not on the phonetic version).

NOTE: Fuzzy matching is not applied to terms with synonyms or in cases where the

analysis process produces multiple tokens at the same position. Under the hood

these terms are expanded to a special synonym query that blends term frequencies,
