Adjacent searching

Adjacent searching is similar to proximity. It is a way of specifying how much space is in between keywords in a search, yet still allow a site to be highly ranked. For example if the size of the space in between keywords was two a search for 'bullets and guns' would show sites with terms like 'bullets used in guns' however a term such as 'bullets and their use in guns' would not appear as the space between the keywords was four spaces not two.
