Azure Search Autocomplete API not working for Fuzzy search

I have configured azure autocomplete API with all parameters. It gives results for normal keywords but when I tried with misspell keyword then it doesn't provide me expected results. Also, I have added UseFuzzyMatching=true while configuration.eg. machine -> gives the expected results. If we try with magine then it provides 0 results from autocomplete API.

Please let me know if I'm missing any configurations to make Fuzzy workable.

I have data in my index that contains product description and comment fields 'Boormachine' or 'machine', also it provides me results in search API for this.

I have configured suggester while creation of index with the following source fields:

Comment, CommentSmall, Description,
ItemBrandDescription, Itemcode, 
ItemGroupDescription,ItemSupplierCode,
SupplierCode

We have configured autocomplete API with this:

as I need to find for keyword suggestions not in group and brand name so excluded these two fields from search fields in the configuration. We can see the fuzzy related configuration in autocomplete with UseFuzzyMatching flag. Please let me know if I am missing some configuration to work fuzzy in azure search autocomplete API.

@AjayKumar-MSFT @SamaraSoucy-MSFT @SwatiBhat-MSFT : This issue has been many forums but I do not see a concrete solution anywhere for this.

Hope you have found the solution for this, since you have closed the ticket. Please be kind to share the fix for this. We're using Azure cognitive search and the fuzzy doesn't seem work always.

Also, if you're closing the ticket without a sharing the fix, it is not helping the community.
