: For example, given this data:
:
: author: a b c
: author: d e f
:
: a search for "a SAME c" would match the first row, but "a SAME d" would
: match nothing, which is what I want.

if i understand you correctly, then you are describing a use case in which the index has two documents, each containing a single field named "author" one of which contains the tokens "a", "b", and "c" the other containing
"d", "e", and "f"
No, both fields are in the same document. Which is also why proximity does not work.

To give you some context: I am experimenting with replacing BRS/ Search with Lucene in one of our bliographic databases (aprox. 20M bibliographic records, in MARC21). Bibliographic data i notoriously tricky since it tends to contain lots of repeating fields and the fields themselves often contain lots of information between the data you want to match against.

Or is there some way of telling a proximity query to not cross field boundaries?

And no, I have no idea what an opattor is either ... ;)
