Moti, I have not yet looked into all the details of your comments, but I remember I had some trouble in trying to define the precise semantics of NearSpansOrdered. I'll have another look at being more precise for the overlaps.
NearSpansUnordered is a specialisation of the previous NearSpans for the unordered case. The ordered case had a bug, which was fixed by the introduction of NearSpansOrdered. Your wish to have "one two two" match twice against a query "one two" with sufficient slop could be probably implemented in a (hopefully) minor variation of NearSpansOrdered. NearSpansUnordered has a very different implementation and I cannot say of the top of my head whether it could be varied in a similar way. Providing only the shortest possible match gives some efficiency and is linguistically easy to understand. Nested span queries, SpanOrQuery and multiple terms indexed at the same position (i.e. overlapping in the index) can make these things quite tricky to implement correctly. I think it would be worthwhile to open a jira issue for these things. Could you do that and add your test code there under APL 2? To make it work as a junit test with the existing ant build.xml might require renaming the class to start with Test... instead of ending in ...Test. Shall we move further discussion to the java-dev list?
