Thanks for the response. Well my current ps setting works great for most search terms. But say this typical example, north dakota 1031 exchange lawyers - we don't have any relevant docs in the index. Solr is returning the irrelevant doc, just because it found 'lawyer', exchange, north & dakota somewhere. I thought if there is a way to just not return any results if they are not within close proximity, it would be great.
