: I wasn't clear on this answer. The problem was not grammar ambiguity but : from a user standpoint...I wanted to differentiate the proximity binary : operator from the phrase distance operator...even though they are : similar. Perhaps the differentiation is more confusing then helpful.
it's not confusing if your target audience isn't confused. .. i asked only as someone who understands LUcene fairly well, and recognised that under the covers they were (probably) both producing PhraseQueries ... i was mainly just curious as to your motivation, which makes sense now (it's mainly just one more special character people have to worry about escaping) -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
