The following snippet did the trick

SpanQuery   phrA = new SpanTermQuery(new Term("contents","Jean"));
SpanQuery[] phrB = new SpanQuery[2];

phrB[0] = new SpanTermQuery(new Term("contents","great"));
phrB[1] = new SpanTermQuery(new Term("contents","actor"));

SpanNearQuery query=new SpanNearQuery(new SpanQuery[]{phrA,phrB},20,false);

Thanks,
Rahman.
