Is it possible to set a lower bound for proximity searches? I'm trying to find "John Smith" within 10-15 words of "bill jones" but not within 1-10 words. The reason for this is that I've already done {10}"John Smith" "bill jones" and reviewed all 90 results. I presume just expanding the proximity range to {15}"John Smith" "bill jones" will increase the number of results, and I don't want to review the results that fall in the range of the earlier search. Would ({15}"John Smith" "bill jones") AND -({10}"John Smith" "bill jones") accomplish this?

Thank you for the prompt reply. I suggest this functionality be developed for a future update/version. Those of us who work with large data sets have to make an educated guess about how wide to make the proximity search parameter and being able to incrementally increase (or decrease) it without having to re-review large amounts of material would be very helpful.
