Here's a search using Foxtrot Query Syntax on Contents Only: ["{5} inflation -job*"]. The purpose is to find all documents that contain the word "inflation" but not the word "job*" within 5 words of each other. However, this query gives back a document with the string "Currently, with Biden saying that it's the Fed's job to handle inflation" in its content, which is not what the query says.
And if I try the Foxtrot Query ["{5} -job inflation"], then there's no result at all, even though it's the exact same query as the first one, but with the order of the conditions flipped around.
I don't see an example of proximity search combined with exclusion in the Foxtrot documentation, so ... is the combination supported?
