Answer 1

You could use named queries for this, by giving a name to each of your queries. In the results, each hit will feature a matched_queries array containing the names of the queries that matched (e.g. dogo and fox below).

{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "fuzzy": {
            "name": {
              "value": "dogo",
              "_name": "dogo"
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "fuzzy": {
            "name": {
              "value": "fox",
              "_name": "fox"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "highlight": {
    "fields": {
      "title": {
        "pre_tags": [
          "===>"
        ],
        "post_tags": [
          "<==="
        ],
        "fragment_size": 200,
        "number_of_fragments": 100
      }
    }
  }
}

Named queries is the right choice to understand your query name in results. You could also try suggestion if you want to know the possible corrected terms for your query term.

{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
    "should": [
        {
          "fuzzy": {
                  "title": "dogo"
                      }

          },
        {
          "fuzzy": {
                  "title": "fox"
                      }
          }
        ]
    }

  },
  "highlight" : {
      "fields" : {
          "title":{
              "pre_tags": [
                "===>"
              ],
              "post_tags": [
                "<==="
              ],
              "fragment_size": 200,
              "number_of_fragments": 100
          }
      }
   }  ,
 "suggest" : {
    "title_suggestion" : {
      "text" : "fox dogo",
      "term" : {
        "field" : "title"
      }
    }
  }
}
