Fuzzy transpositions (`ab` -> `ba`) are allowed by default but can be disabled
by setting `fuzzy_transpositions` to `false`.

Note that fuzzy matching is not applied to terms with synonyms, as under the hood
these terms are expanded to a special synonym query that blends term frequencies,
which does not support fuzzy expansion.
