I tested this against Postgres 11 and master (and you tested on PG 10
and 14) and I found the same behavior, plus I found someting even
worse:
SELECT ts_headline('English',
'This Commercial Bank does not have any Equity in Europe but European Commercial Bank does',
('''equiti'' <-> ''bank''')::tsquery);
ts_headline
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Commercial <b>Bank</b> does not have any <b>Equity</b> in Europebut European Commercial <b>Bank</b> does
Notice that "Bank" and "Equity" are not next to each other, but they
still highlight. In fact, the words appear to be independently checked:
SELECT ts_headline('English',
'This Commercial Bank does not have any Equity in Europe but European Commercial Bank does',
('''XXX'' <-> ''bank''')::tsquery);
ts_headline
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Commercial <b>Bank</b> does not have any Equity in Europe but European Commercial <b>Bank</b> does
Is this documented somewhere?
