Autocomplete with `fuzzy` scores all results as `1`
Using autocomplete with the fuzzy operator returns results, but they are scored all with the same value (1). This has been reported a couple times in the developer forum as well:
https://developer.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/fuzzy-autocomplete-score/13341/4
This can make it difficult to process and rank results on the client side, especially for high volumes of returned documents. It would be helpful if autocomplete + fuzzy would support relative scoring.

This is indeed causing problems for us as well. Would love to have proper ranking for autocomplete with fuzziness.
