We've run into a situation where having "NOT NEAR" queries would really help. I haven't been able to find any discussion of adding this to Lucene in the past, so wanted to ask if people had any comments about it before I started trying to make the change.
I've looked at NearSpansUnordered and it seems that reversing the logic in atMatch() would go a long way towards implementation; NearSpansOrdered is a bit harder, depending upon the exact semantics of "NOT NEAR" that we want to implement. For queries, I was thinking that either "foo bar"~-10 or "foo bar"!~10 might be reasonable; the former should be pretty easy to parse. Does this sound reasonable? Something for contrib?
