For example, let's say I want to search for the above sentence out of a 3 GB database. Let's say also that I remember only that the sentence begins with "I" and ends with "intervening". I know that I can use the "Proximity" function, but this will yield hits where the two words come up within three pages of each other. It would be nice to have a proximity function that pulls up two words within, say, 15 to 30 intervening words of each other, or better yet to be able to determine manually the range of intervening words. I have just now tried the search features in Acrobat 6 (searching indexes made wtih Acrobat 4 and 5). Though I haven't yet perused all its features, the search capablities are vastly improved. However, it is deathly slow on my old Pentium 233, whereas Acrobat 4 and 5 are quite fast.
