Hello:
We are having trouble using proximity search syntax. It seems to be returning overly-broad results and behaving more like an OR operator, in that low proximity distance searches are getting hits even though the words co-occur farther apart than the word distance we specify.
For example:
comment ~ '"solar footing"~5'
The terms 'solar' and 'footing' occur just once in the issue within a comment and are 15 words apart. Adjusting the proximity distance even down to 1 still results in the issue being found by the search, even though the terms do not occur that closely. We would expect to see:
comment ~ '"solar footing"~5' --- returns zero hits.
comment ~ '"solar footing"~20' --- returns one hit.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
