Proximity Search Operators in lower case?
I was always taught that Proximity Search queries had to be ALL CAPS such as ...
love WITHIN 4 WORDS power

Proximity Operators

I did a few tests and got the same number of results both ways.

I used to not use capitals from 2009 (Logos 4) but Bradley was insistent that documentation should use WORDS!

It was always supposed to be this way, but an early version of the software allowed "words", so we left that ability in there (instead of taking it away from users who had become used to it). Our documentation should always use ALL CAPS.

Some operators, such as AND and OR, always have to be in caps; we think it's a little confusing to have to try to remember which are the exceptions so we try not to promote them in our training material.
