The adjacency term (adj) default operator and it is
unidirectional, from left to right. Accordingly, by
mere entry of the phrase deficit spending would
deliver the same results as the example provided.
There are occasions, however,
when you may want to affirmatively include adj
in the search string. For example, when you want to
search for numerical information: dates, statute
sections, social security numbers the punctuation mark
can be substituted with adj.

The NEAR term allows you to search for pairs of words
in which either word can occur before the other. For
example, if you want to retrieve documents discussing
any type of hearsay objection, your search may look
like the one above. By contrast, if you want to
retrieve documents discussing hearsay objection or
when the evidentiary objection was based on hearsay,
your search may look like this: hearsay near objection |
