This can be done using nested SpanNearQuery's and SpanOrQuery's. A PhrasePrefixQuery can not be used as a SpanQuery. > If not, does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this?

The surround query language is in the contrib/surround directory in the development version. The most striking difference with the lucene standard query language is that all operators have to be given explicitly, there is no implicit 'and' or 'or'.
