Proximity Search

The proximity search 'make WITHIN 3 WORDS disciple' in the bible section only produces 1 hit, and I am not sure if that one is correct! The ESV does not have the word make in Jn 2:22.
In the Entire Library search it gave me 222,136 results (8 seconds). L3 took a little longer than that ;-) but did find 3207 more useful hits.
What am I doing wrong?

The proper syntax is:
word WITHIN x words otherword
Only the proximity operator is all caps.

Thanks Robert.
The library search is now down to a more manageable 2841 hits. I am not sure why L3 finds more than L4 when L4 has the same (or possibly more resources). I assume that it is about what is 'counted' 3207 'occurrences' (L3) vs 2841 'results' in '1109 'articles'.
I must admit to more than a little confusion. In other topics, much has been made about L4 being more amenable to the 'non-geek' user. In this example, I can easily isolate my terms, but of the terms required by L4 (Within and words) one must be in upper case, and one must not be in upper case. The distinction between the operator and the modifier is less than clear.
BTW. I really miss the feature that gave the search box a red border until there was a valid syntax present.
And completely off topic ... I have just tried to maximise the search results window by clicking on layouts, the full screen box and then the search window's title and L4 has crashed on me again. I have the MS error reporting box in front of me, but when I have used this in the past it effectively locks my computer for 10-20 minutes. Process Explorer (SysInternals) is reporting DW20.EXE as running at 84%, and the CPU at 98%. Most error reports to MS take a few seconds. It this what I should be seeing?
