Elastic Multimatch string with dash (or other symbol)

I am trying to match dashes (and other symbols) in my elastic query.

It is fuzzysearch on all the fields using default whitespace analyzer.

My query:

function_score: {          query: {              multi_match: {                  query: string                  analyzer: "whitespace",                  fuzziness: 1              }          }      }  

However this has unexpected results with dash characters. E.x. Central-Park doesnt work with this. Or

Dashes only work well when I use a phrase match and strip out the double quotes. But there is no fuzziness.

Does anyone know how I can get the fuzzysearch normally with dashes please?
