Is there a way to search through pdf you are looking for a few words "proximity" to the other?

I started this question in a forum of Adobe Reader, but am reposting here.

In a single pdf, I try to find places where both words appear near each other. The document is structured with Adobe Framemaker manual. The words are 'context' and 'element' (I'm trying to find out what "context" means in EDD in Framemaker).

Using the advanced search on Acrobat Professional XI, but the answer is the same in Acrobat Reader of XI, i.e. no results.

Put a comma between the words unchanged results.

One of those choices don't change the results:

-Matches one of the words

-Match the Exact Word or phrase

By clicking on the Options show more adds a nearby area, but I was unable to make the selectable zone (it is grayed out).

Although I am only interested in the results of a pdf, I was told to select an entire folder. When I choose a directory, additional options appear, but the close button is still not selectable.

What turns the button on proximity?

Is it possible to change default Acrobat so that the more Options is always on?

Thanks in advance.

Proximity will become available if you use an index (Tools > Document Processing > full text with catalog index), you can create with Acrobat Pro for only this document if you place it in a folder itself. You can also select "match all words" or whatever the exact wording is in the Advanced Search Panel.
