.
pos(aff:("max" "astronomy"), 1)
expands to pos(spanNear(aff:max aff:astronomy, 1), 1)
aff:"max astronomy"
does not expand to spanNear(aff:max aff:astronomy)
aff(max NEAR astronomy)
expands to spanNear(aff:max aff:astronomy, 5)
Use case: we want to find all papers with first author affiliations containing both "Max" (has in Max-Plank) and "Astronomy" (as in "Institute for Astronomy").
This search returns the expected results:
aff:"^max" aff:"^astronomy"
And so does this one:
pos(aff:"max", 1) pos(aff:"astronomy", 1)
This one, however, doesn't:
pos(aff:("max" "astronomy"), 1)
The last query should be functionally equivalent to the previous two.
