I would like to find all occurrences of two words where they are within a specified number of words of each other.

e.g find the word "local" that's within 3 words of "network"

As an example, this will return all records where the search field contains the phrase...

"local area network"

"local network"

"local public wireless network"

but will not return records where the phrase is...

"our local area has two choices of broadband network"

"local people have created a self help network"

I suspect this can't be done in FileMaker without allot of heavy lifting from scripts and calculations and the like, but would be pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong on this.
