Supposing I have a document with just "hi there" as the text.
If I do a span query like this:
near(near(term('hi'), term('there'), slop=0, forwards),
term('hi'), slop=1, any-direction)
that returns no hits. However, if I do a span query like this:
near(near(term('hi'), term('there'), slop=0, forwards),
term('there'), slop=1, any-direction)
that returns the document.
It seems that the rule is that if the two spans *start* at the same
position, then they are not considered "near" each other. But from
the POV of a user (and from this developer) this is lop-sided because
in both situations, the second span was inside the first span. It
seems like they should either both be considered hits, or both be
considered non-hits.
I am wondering what others think about this and whether there is any
way to manipulate/rewrite the query to get a more balanced-looking
result.
(I'm sure it gets particularly hairy, though, when your two spans
overlap only partially... is that "near" or not?)
