Subject: Ordered Proximity searching, does it exist?

Dear Lucene Users,

Is there a way or has someone been able to implement an ordered proximity s=
earch. Lucene currently uses the "word1 word2"~5 query to find tokens that =
are within 5 words of each other in any order. What I've been asked to do i=
s find only the results that are for instance within 5 words of each other =
in the order the query was written.=20

For a scenario like


text:"blah blah blah. Section 1 of Primary Act 1976, s1. Dogs Act 1999, s3 =
blah blah blah"


Say  I wanted to find the Dogs Act Section 1 using text:"dogs act s1"~5 que=
ry would give the above record when it wasn't in context. This is the reaso=
n for wanting results in order to stop these incorrect results.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

R
Adam
