I wonder what you can do with that "Group" function in advanced search? Is it for replacing the 'OR'-Operator in a list of terms? Obviously you can't use it in context with proximity Operator?

Dear user,
The group function can be used to group logical units. It also makes it easier to visually "read" a search query compared to the single line search. E.g. when the main Boolean operator is a Boolean "AND", you can insert a group with synonyms which are combined with a Boolean "OR" within the group.
Proximity operators are associated with a specific field and can be combined with groups.
See e.g.
