Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-3376:
-----------------------------------
Just to clarify that I do not misunderstand you: the rule should not match on
the second and third "small", right?
It is hard to remove the behavior (since it is actually needed sometimes), but
an option like dynamic anchoring should be possible. I already created a
similar issue UIMA-2768. Can you please verify if both issues target the same
improvement?

> Plus Greedy quantifier matches one or more annotations of the same type. A
> better functionality would be to produce only one annotation with the largest
> number of annotations matched.
> So that in the example bellow, only one annotation is produced:
> Input: 123 456 small small small Big
> Rule: SW+
