writes the following:

For instance, when searching for "quick fox", it is expected that the
difference between the positions of fox and quick is 1. So "a quick brown
fox" would be at an edit distance of 1 since the difference of the
positions of fox and quick is 2. Similarly, "the fox is quick" would be at
an edit distance of 3 since the difference of the positions of fox and quick
is -2. The slop defines the maximum edit distance for a document to match.

It is exact but not clear: "quick fox" hits "the fox is quick" with a slop
3 if "is" is not a stop word, if "is" is in the list of stop words of the
analyzer, a slop 2 is enough.
