Marc,
SpanNearQuery isn't capable of performing the proximity to within
only a single position in the manner you've described. A slop of 0
means the terms must be contiguous with no gaps, which also allows
for matches in the same position as in your first example.
I think MultiPhraseQuery (from svn trunk) will do what you want
though. Please try that and report back on how it works for you.

hello all -
i have a problem with a SpanNearQuery returning incorrect (false
positive) results.
I am creating the context of a field using tokens which have
position increment set to either 1 or 0. The position increment is
set to 0 for special tokens, in this case part-of-speech markers.
Thus, brackets set of position increments:
[The __pos_dt] [cow __pos_noun] [jumped __pos_verb] [over
__pos_prep] [the __pos_dt] [moon __pos_noun] [. __pos_.]
My Span Query looks like:
SpanQuery sq = new SpanNearQuery(new SpanQuery[]
{
new SpanTermQuery(new Term("content",
"jumped")),
new SpanTermQuery(new
Term("content", "__pos_verb"))
}, 0, false);
This correctly finds the span: [jumped __pos_verb]
However, if I query:
SpanQuery sq = new SpanNearQuery(new SpanQuery[]
{
new SpanTermQuery(new Term("content",
"jumped")),
new SpanTermQuery(new
Term("content", "__pos_noun"))
}, 0, false);
This incorrectly finds the span: [cow __pos_noun] [jumped __pos_verb]
This is wrong because there is a distance of 1 between the tokens,
not 0.
I am using a recent version of Lucene from SVN.
I am thinking that the problem is related to the position increment
being set to 0 for the first token of the incorrect "match" -- thus
perhaps this is a bug in the SpanNearQuery?
Best,
Marc
