Thomas Mueller updated JCR-4042:
--------------------------------
Description:
Currently GQL does not have a escape character. Adding the escape character
will help in special character cases for example where a search term contains
both colon ({{:}}) and quote ({{"}}) character.
for example search string is {{foo:bar}}, if term is put in quote {{"foo:bar"}}
and this whole term is considered as a single search value.
But in case user need to search {{foo"abc:bar}} then putting this term in
quotes won't work. But if GQL will have a escape character, then user can
search this term using escape character.
