Is it possible to use Boolean OR plus proximity? [message #134] Fri, 28 June 2013 23:55

I do a great deal of legal research, and a critical tool in finding what I
am looking for is the use of nested, Boolean OR phrases coupled with a
proximity search. E.g.,

((automobile | vehicle | car | truck) /20 (identity | owner | owns)) /50
(burden /3 (proof | prove | proving))

Although, using wildcards, it would ordinarily be:

((automobile | vehicle | car | truck) /20 (identity | own*)) /50 (burden /3
(proof | prov*))

I cannot seem to do this with Foxtrot. The proximity function seems to be
exclusive of the OR operator. Am I missing something?

Using FoxTrot 4.5.2
