Elastic stop analyzer and fuzzy search issue

I have index and data described here, and also I have set analyzer to stop analyzer. That works fine, because when I try simple search like POST https://serverURL/_search?pretty=true

{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "default_field": "title",
      "query": "Rebel the without"   }
 }
}

, server really returns

            "title": "Rebel Without a Cause"

as result.

But, when I try to use fuzzy search

{
  "query": {
    "fuzzy": {
      "title": {
        "value": "Rebel the without"
      }
    }
  }
}

, the result is empty. What is exactly going on here, does fuzzy search somehow disable analyzer ?

Fuzzy query returns documents that contain terms that seem to be similar to the search term.

Since, you have not defined any explicit mapping for the "title" field, it uses standard analyzer, where the token generated will be :

{
  "tokens" : [
    {
      "token" : "rebel",
      "start_offset" : 0,
      "end_offset" : 5,
      "type" : "<ALPHANUM>",
      "position" : 0
    },
    {
      "token" : "without",
      "start_offset" : 6,
      "end_offset" : 13,
      "type" : "<ALPHANUM>",
      "position" : 1
    },
    {
      "token" : "a",
      "start_offset" : 14,
      "end_offset" : 15,
      "type" : "<ALPHANUM>",
      "position" : 2
    },
    {
      "token" : "cause",
      "start_offset" : 16,
      "end_offset" : 21,
      "type" : "<ALPHANUM>",
      "position" : 3
    }
  ]
}

The fuzzy query will give you result for those search terms which are similar to the token generated like wihout, case, rebe, etc

GET /myidx/_search
{
  "query": {
    "fuzzy": {
      "title": {
        "value": "case"
      }
    }
  }
}

Update 1:

Based on the comments below, you can use match bool prefix query

{
  "query": {
    "match_bool_prefix": {
      "title": {
        "query": "Rebel the without"
      }
    }
  }
}
