We are trying to do proximity search for multi-terms and we don't care the order of the terms. Therefore "term1 term2"~5 probably will not get you "term2 term1" if both terms are long. So instead of applying distance at the end, we apply distance to each word, "term1~2 term2~2". I am wondering if we should skip short words if it is not done automatically by the engine.
