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 https://developer.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/trying-to-understand-atlas-search-autocomplete-result/13819 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.

    Consider the approach outlined in this solution write-up: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/architecture/current/solutions-library/retail-as-you-type-suggestions/

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