Proximity-based search

Proximity-based search refers to a method of information retrieval that focuses on finding documents or data based on the closeness of keywords or phrases within the text. Instead of just searching for individual terms, it considers how near they are to each other. This approach is useful for capturing context and meaning, allowing for more relevant results. For example, in a search for "dog training," a proximity-based search would prioritize results where those words appear closely together, making it more likely to yield information specifically about training dogs rather than unrelated topics.
