The best example I can offer, is the very last criterion field in the Library of Congress’ Chronicling America Advanced Search page, which I use constantly.
There, I can search for instances of [Word-A AND Word-B] in which no more than, say, five words are in-between the two. This feature is a godsend for research in the humanities. Can DT do this now and/or is this a feasible feature to recommend for future builds? Thanks!
DEVONthink can do this since at least several years
term1 NEAR term2: term1 occurs 10 words or less before or after term2
term1 NEAR/n term2: term1 occurs n or less words before or after term2
The NEAR/n operator is is covered in the Help > Documentation > Appendix > Search Operators.
@pete31 @BLUEFROG GLORIOUS! I should have asked about this weeks ago. Jim, TY for help reference. Not sure how I missed it last night. Way good!
BTW you could index a copy of Jim’s great help resource with this script. It makes looking up things very easy.
You’re welcome.
