Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-8612:
---------------------------------------
Here is a patch adding {{Intervals.extend(source, before, after)}}, which
allows you to make an interval cover extra positions before and after the
actual terms. To search for {{a [space] b [space] c}}, for example, you could
call {{Intervals.phrase(Intervals.term("a"),
Intervals.extend(Intervals.term("b", 1, 1)), Intervals.term("c")}}
The patch also clarifies the javadocs for how IntervalIterator should report
start() and end() after the interval has been exhausted for the current
document (important for the unordered algorithm), and fixes IntervalMatches to
report start and end positions from its underlying IntervalIterator, rather
than any wrapped Matches - for most iterators they are the same, but for
ExtendedIntervalIterator we need to report the extended bounds so that phrase
queries will still correctly report matches.

> At the moment you can search for intervals with a maximum number of positions
> between them, but you cannot enforce gaps. It would be useful to be able to
> search for `a b [2 spaces] c`.
