Actually, I was thinking of writing something along the lines of Span*BoundaryQuery where it would be more explicit than what was described below. You could say SpanSentence and say you want the terms to occur w/in two sentences. Do you guys think it is worthwhile to codify what is discussed below into a few convenience Span queries, or maybe we should just write it up better and put on the wiki or something...

Any preference?

I haven't tried it myself, but my reading of SpanQueries leads me to
believe you could accomplish what you want (and what Grant describes) by
inserting special Terms to denote
formula/sentance/paragraph/section/chapter boundaries, and then use
SpanNearQueries with a high slop in conjunction with a
SpanNotQuery using a SpanTermQuery for the boundary you don't want to
cross.


I have not tried this either, but it was one of the use cases when designing span queries. So it should work.
