Omega uses the QueryParser, so see the documentation for that:

http://www.xapian.org/docs/queryparser.html

I recall this being asked before.  I'll add a note to the Omega
documentation, as it's not obvious to look in the xapian-core
documentation for this information.

"NEAR" is supported, but currently the distance is fixed at "within 10
words".

Cheers,
