The words are only virtually, not visually, on top of one another as far as the computation of phrase query slop.
It is possible, though, to have an Analyzer that places terms (consider synonyms) into the same position (again, virtually, not visually) as another term. This allows for exact phrase matches of synonyms, for example. Consider the "quick brown fox" and the "fast brown fox" matching the same document. |
