Subject: How to get the terms within 5 words of another term?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi everyone,

I have a term "foo" and I want to count all the occurrences of all the
terms that are within 5 words of "foo" in all the documents which
contain "foo".  For simplicity sake, this is only for a single field.
So if I have 3 documents (each with a single field) that look like this:

Once upon a time, foo lived far, far away in a magical kingdom.

"The Life and Time of the Hero Called Foo" is, by far, the best novel
about spam I have ever read.

I theorize that over time, foo will gradually move far away from bar.

I would like to generate a list of terms and hits based on their
proximity to "foo" in all the documents.  So I'll end up with something
like:

far : 4
time : 3
away : 2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much!
-Sven
