We built an internal order lookup tool. In many of these cases, proximity is absolutely valuable as a scoring factor, but term frequency has little to no value.

Right now, searching for "Jones Gary" will give higher ranking to an order that has the term Jones in both the customer name and in one of the address fields, putting it higher than a result containing Jones B Gary.

I've tied 'hacking' around it by adding a wildcard as described below, but it doesn't have the intended effect.
