Stating that the Fuzzy Query generates "all possible" matching terms is misleading, given that the query's default behavior is to generate a maximum of 50 matching terms.
(cherry picked from commit 345a0071a2a41fd7f80ae9ef8a39a2cb4991aedd)
Add fuzzy_transpositions parameter to multi_match and query_string queries.
Add fuzzy_transpositions, fuzzy_prefix_length and fuzzy_max_expansions
parameters to simple_query_string query.
When we decided to deprecate and remove fuzzy query in #15760, we didn't realize we would take away the possibililty for uses to use a fuzzy query as part of a span query, which is not possible using match query. This means we have to go back and un-deprecate fuzzy query, which will not be removed.
Closes#15760
This query is deprecated from 5.0 on. Similar to IndicesQueryBuilder we should
log a deprecation warning whenever this query is used.
Relates to #15760
This change does the following:
- Queries that are currently unsupported such as prefix queries on numeric
fields or term queries on geo fields now throw an error rather than returning
a query that does not match anything.
- Fuzzy queries on numeric, date and ip fields are now unsupported: they used
to create range queries, we now expect users to use range queries directly.
Fuzzy, regexp and prefix queries are now only supported on text/keyword
fields (including `_all`).
- The `_uid` and `_id` fields do not support prefix or range queries anymore as
it would prevent us to store them more efficiently in the future, eg. by
using a binary encoding.
Note that it is still possible to ignore these errors by using the `lenient`
option of the `match` or `query_string` queries.
With this commit we deprecate the widely misunderstood
fuzzy query but will still allow the fuzziness
parameter in match queries and suggesters.

This commit makes queries and filters parsed the same way using the
QueryParser abstraction. This allowed to remove duplicate code that we had
for similar queries/filters such as `range`, `prefix` or `term`.
