I would expect it to be the other way around. Multiple word searches in word indexes do assume implicit "and" or "or" combinations, and string indexes support implicit proximity.

Is this what we mean by "word index"??????????

Or do we mean an index that supports single-word
search, like Bath?

If we want the DC "non-string" index (whatever we
call it) to support multiple word searches then we
need to call one of these (DC or Bath) something
else.
