Boolean NEAR term not accurate with multiple conditions

I just tried searching (cop OR police OR “law enforcement”) NEAR/3 accountab*. But it doesn’t actually work - i get a lot of results with the necessary words, but the former options aren’t within 3 words of the latter.

Results like… ? Screen caps showing the search and results would likely be helpful.

Or even better documents to reproduce this.

I wish there were a way to only show the hits that met the NEAR operator requirement. When I try “furthering NEAR/5 development”, I get the only the documents that have them within five words of each other, but I also get tons of other hits in that same document.

The document is OCRd.

Which version do you use? The current beta (3.0beta3) displays only two hits and both of them are correct.

I’m only getting the two hits as well.
