A lot of folks who do "power searches," say, librarians or other trained researchers, familiar with the bells and whistles of more powerful search engines, will want a simple operator for proximity, with the ability to specify proximity depth: For example: Lexis-Nexis: Sean w/2 Upton (where w/2 is within 2 words) Also, lexis doesn't count stop-words in proximity indexes. Folio/Nextpage: "Sean Upton"@2 IMHO, the syntax is clean and very brief in the Lexis-Nexis case and should suppliment a more generic Sean ... Upton style search.

Once you're satisfied with the implementation, would you be willing submit the module to the collector?
Will do. Have you thought about how users actually are to use exact-phrase? What I'm thinking I will do here (currently I've only been testing explicitly with "adjoinedby" in the query) is to insert "adjoinedby" in phrased searches:
"erik enge" -> erik adjoinedby enge erik ... enge -> erik near enge
What do you think?
These both look like good spellings, and I think "erik near enge" would be a good alias for "erik ... enge" as well.. - C _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
