Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your time.
Sorry, should have added that. I used the “Deeper” plugin that comes with DEVONAgent. So all search options except keywords are selected. I should think that options would not matter though? If it is following my search it would require one of the other search terms in addition to “history,” regardless of where it searches for those terms. That is, I expect that “NEAR” is equivalent to “AND” in that regard. If not, that would explain the result but would still be (for me) unexpected.
