Specify Exalead Proximity

Gary reports on an undocumented feature at Exalead that he learned from Karen Blakeman and confirmed with Exalead the NEAR proximity operator (meaning 16 word proximity) can be made to specify other levels of proximity. Use NEAR/x (where the 'x' is a number you chose) to find the two words within 'x' proximity. At last, real proximity searching is available on a Web search engine!
