"Proximity" option not available on searches in Acrobat DC

The "proximity" option is grayed out (and it is the only option that is grayed out) on searched in Acrobat Pro DC. Is this a bug that is going to be fixed?

This has started to work. Thanks. Now we need to control the "pr0ximity." It will select words that are 3 pages apart, which is not what I need. Any ideas on this?


You can set Preferences > Search > Range Of Words For Proximity Searches It limits the search results to those in which the number of words between the search terms isn’t greater than the number you specify. The following preference accepts a range from 1 to 10,000. I hope this help. -Bhavna
