I honestly have no idea how to handle proximity boosting for search queries with mixed operators. Because I do not want to sacrifice accurace of the search in the event that this module doesn't handle things properly, the decision was made to simply not add proximity boosting for queries where operators are specified. This is really only a problem for power users who represents a very small percentage of people who actually use search, so we can release a stable version of the module without solving this use case.

This is more of a bug, but it is kind of a feature in that you can throw an "OR" in between the search terms to see which results would have been returned had this module not been installed. Therefore you can use it to see if there is an actual improvement in your search results.
