+\r
+My grep was this (case insensitive): 'plain[[:space:]/]+text'. Since I\r
+thought I was searching for the _phrase_ "plain text", that would be\r
+adequately fuzzy. However after following Jani's advice, I realise it\r
+wasn't always being treated as a phrase, neither was NEAR being treated\r
+as an operator. \r
+\r
+I wanted to combine a phrase (plain text) with the NEAR query (NEAR no),\r
+but maybe that combination is not possible. That's why I tried to\r
+combine NEAR and ADJ (as per your suggestion) by grouping them, that\r
+does not seem to work either!\r
