multi_match query returning no results elasticsearch

I am trying a multi_match query in ElasticSearch but the query is returning no results. The query is: 

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/smartjn/feed_details/_search" -d'
{
    "query" : {
        "multi_match" : {
            "query" : "Dho*",
            "fields" : [ "title", "wardname" ]
        }
    }
}'
{"took":11,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":0,"max_score":null,"hits":[]}}

I have value in wardname field starting with Dho,

{
    _id: ObjectId("56f43c0344fc86e73b1170b0"),
     title: "Constant road work",
     approvalStatus: "approved",
     subward: "56a6124244fc868a255fe3fe",
     wardname: "Dhokali"
    }

not sure why is it not returning anything. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You need to use Phrase Prefix query if you want to search something that starts with some string. Try following query.

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/smartjn/feed_details/_search" -d'
{
    "query" : {
        "multi_match" : {
            "query" : "Dho*",
            "fields" : [ "title", "wardname" ],
            "type': 'phrase_prefix"
        }
    }
}'
