I'm trying to do a fuzzy match on the Phrase "Grand Prarie" (deliberately misspelled) using Apache Lucene. Part of my issue is that the ~ operator only does fuzzy matches on single word terms and behaves as a proximity match for phrases.
Is there a way to do a fuzzy match on a phrase with lucene?

FuzzyQuery is used to search documents using fuzzy implementation that is an approximate search based on the edit distance algorithm.
Fuzzy Matching (also called Approximate String Matching) is a technique that helps identify two elements of text, strings, or entries that are approximately similar but are not exactly the same.
A fuzzy search searches for text that matches a term closely instead of exactly. Fuzzy searches help you find relevant results even when the search terms are misspelled. To perform a fuzzy search, append a tilde (~) at the end of the search term.
Solr's standard query parser supports fuzzy searches based on the Damerau-Levenshtein Distance or Edit Distance algorithm. Fuzzy searches discover terms that are similar to a specified term without necessarily being an exact match. To perform a fuzzy search, use the tilde ~ symbol at the end of a single-word term.
Lucene 3.0 has ComplexPhraseQueryParser that supports fuzzy phrase query. This is in the contrib package.
