None of these search types have anything to do with misspellings. They all involve the relative location of terms. A phrase search corresponds to a search for a specific sequence of adjacent terms. A near search is a search for terms that are located "near" each other in a document. A proximity search is a general term referring to a search that involves relative term location. The closest ht://Dig currently comes to dealing with misspellings is in the area of fuzzy algorithms (e.g. soundex, metaphone), which primarily aim to find terms that sound similar. I am not aware of any current plans to add support for automatic spelling checking.of HT://Dig. I read on the FAQ that phrase searching has been added for the 3.2 release, which is currently in the beta phase and near or proximity matching will probably be added in a future beta. Do these phrases (proximity, near, phrase searching) mean that a future release will handle misspellings? What do these phrases mean?
