If you want to search for all possible combinations between two words, AROUND(X) operator would be an ideal solution where X stands for the number of words.
If you want to search ‘Pay Research’, the results could be quite overwhelming sometime there would not be any direct link between pay research. Search engines can pick ‘pay’ from a paragraph related to an iPhone while ‘Research’ can be from a totally different paragraph.
To reduce the gap between ‘pay’ and ‘research’, we can put a limit on words. For instance, to narrow down the search up to three words, we can write [pay AROUND(3) research]. Now all the results shown would have ‘pay research’ words parted by only up to three words gap. This can refine the search quite substantially and can bring very relevant search results, for instance, ‘pay for research’, ‘pay for market research’ etc.
AROUND() is also good for finding phrases or quotes. For instance, if someone forgets about the exact phrase such as “kill two birds with one stone”, and just remember about birds and stone. Try birds AROUND(4) Stone.
