If what you're looking for is simply an operator which matches words 
within a given window, and in a given order, you need the OP_PHRASE 
query operator.  See the documentation comment in 
xapian-core/include/xapian/query.h for details.

If that's not what you're looking for, perhaps you could give a piece of 
sample code / commands and data, which we can run, and the results you 
would like the code to produce.  We might then be able to tell you how 
to change your code to get the desired results.
