<para>These two clauses work in similar ways, with the
difference that proximity searches do not impose an order on the
words. In both cases, an adjustable number (slack) of non-matched words
may be accepted between the searched ones (use the counter on
the left to adjust this count). For phrases, the default count
is zero (exact match). For proximity it is ten (meaning that two search
terms, would be matched if found within a window of twelve
words). Examples: a phrase search for <literal>quick
