1. Your clarification that "the found documents should contain at least one (other) occurrence of [inflation] that is not in the given proximity to a word starting with job" is very helpful. I will need to play around with it some more to be certain that I understand what you mean. Thanks.

2. The exclusion syntax of Foxtrot query has been giving me a lot of problems. I remember a while back there was a bug where if I start a query with an exclusion syntax, then the query gives incorrect results. Maybe it's a similar problem with ["{5} -job inflation"], where I am starting the query with an exclusion condition as well. (maybe?)

3. Thanks for looking into the potential bug with ["{5} -job inflation"] vs ["{5} -job* inflation"]
