That's a nice idea!
i.e. disable fuzzy in "autocomplete" mode, but keep it in "search" mode.
We don't have such mode concept atm, but can be introduced, maybe with 
two endpoints (but they at the end call the same code, just one with 
fuzzy, one without), or with a parameter.
Then one can say that even in autocomplete we can do typo when typing 
fast without expecting the feedback from the server, and then removing 
autocomplete will lower the user experience. But I think we can at least 
keep this idea in mind as an option.
Also, imho, we should not make "fuzzy" the only hard problem in the 
search logic implementation. Without fuzzy things are much simpler, but 
not yet simple, cf

And btw this is the funniest challenge in town :)
