title: Proximity Search using phrases in Solr
body: <p>I use Solr's proximity search quite often to search for words within a specified range of each other, like so</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Government Spending" ~2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was wondering is there a way to perform a proximity search using a phrase and a word or two phrases. Is this possible? If so what is the syntax?</p>
