I am not sure I understand what you are asking. I assume you are aware of Lucene Proximity Search - e.g. "jakarta apache"~4 - see http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html
Are you asking if it is possible to search for docs in which the gap between the two words is exactly N, e.g. exactly 4? If so, this seems equivalent to something like: "jakarta apache"~4 AND NOT "jakarta apache"~3 Otherwise, could you explain a bit more - e.g. short sample content of a doc that search should return and a doc that search should not return.
