<div>BPBible's proximity is an approximation based on some average length of word (~5 letters, I think... - though it may be calculated from the module). So results may not be directly comparable.</div><br>

<div>I don't believe proper crossboundary search is possible (as lucene has documents). BPBible also allows (for example) phrases to cross verse boundaries. I don't think any of the others do.<br><br clear="all">
