It would be nice if we could do span not in the surround query, as they are quite useful for keeping searches within a boundary (say a sentence)

Research direction

Start by locating the Java implementations of SurroundQuery and SpanNot and read how existing surround clauses are parsed and executed. Trace the relevant query tests, then define done as SurroundQuery accepting SpanNot while preserving the intended sentence or other boundary behavior.
