Tim Allison commented on LUCENE-5205:
-------------------------------------
[~modassar] et al., in refactoring the lexer, I'd like to make the following
trivial syntax changes:
* to escape / in a regex, double it (as we currently do with single quotes
within a single quoted run)
* to quote a term (i.e. treat this term as a literal), use single quote only
(the current parser allows the option of double quotes, but this adds more code
than I'd like).
* to quote a string that should be sent to a field without an analyzer (i.e.
date fields in Solr), use single quotes. Currently, the user has the option of
using single or double quotes.
If there are any problems with the above, or if you'd like to see other
changes, let me know. New lexer integration probably won't be ready for a few
weeks, but it is _far_ faster than the old lexer on large queries.

> This parser extends QueryParserBase and includes functionality from:
> * Classic QueryParser: most of its syntax
> * SurroundQueryParser: recursive parsing for "near" and "not" clauses.
> * ComplexPhraseQueryParser: can handle "near" queries that include multiterms
> (wildcard, fuzzy, regex, prefix),
> * AnalyzingQueryParser: has an option to analyze multiterms.
> At a high level, there's a first pass BooleanQuery/field parser and then a
> span query parser handles all terminal nodes and phrases.
> Same as classic syntax:
> * term: test
> * fuzzy: roam~0.8, roam~2
> * wildcard: te?t, test*, t*st
> * regex: /\[mb\]oat/
> * phrase: "jakarta apache"
> * phrase with slop: "jakarta apache"~3
> * default "or" clause: jakarta apache
> * grouping "or" clause: (jakarta apache)
> * boolean and +/-: (lucene OR apache) NOT jakarta; +lucene +apache -jakarta
> * multiple fields: title:lucene author:hatcher
>
> Main additions in SpanQueryParser syntax vs. classic syntax:
> * Can require "in order" for phrases with slop with the \~> operator:
> "jakarta apache"\~>3
> * Can specify "not near": "fever bieber"!\~3,10 ::
> find "fever" but not if "bieber" appears within 3 words before or 10
> words after it.
> * Fully recursive phrasal queries with \[ and \]; as in: \[\[jakarta
> apache\]~3 lucene\]\~>4 ::
> find "jakarta" within 3 words of "apache", and that hit has to be within
> four words before "lucene"
> * Can also use \[\] for single level phrasal queries instead of " as in:
> \[jakarta apache\]
> * Can use "or grouping" clauses in phrasal queries: "apache (lucene solr)"\~3
> :: find "apache" and then either "lucene" or "solr" within three words.
> * Can use multiterms in phrasal queries: "jakarta\~1 ap*che"\~2
> * Did I mention full recursion: \[\[jakarta\~1 ap*che\]\~2 (solr~
> /l\[ou\]\+\[cs\]\[en\]\+/)]\~10 :: Find something like "jakarta" within two
> words of "ap*che" and that hit has to be within ten words of something like
> "solr" or that "lucene" regex.
> * Can require at least x number of hits at boolean level: "apache AND (lucene
> solr tika)~2
> * Can use negative only query: -jakarta :: Find all docs that don't contain
> "jakarta"
> * Can use an edit distance > 2 for fuzzy query via SlowFuzzyQuery (beware of
> potential performance issues!).
> Trivial additions:
> * Can specify prefix length in fuzzy queries: jakarta~1,2 (edit distance =1,
> prefix =2)
> * Can specifiy Optimal String Alignment (OSA) vs Levenshtein for distance
> <=2: (jakarta~1 (OSA) vs jakarta~>1(Levenshtein)
> This parser can be very useful for concordance tasks (see also LUCENE-5317
> and LUCENE-5318) and for analytical search.
> Until LUCENE-2878 is closed, this might have a use for fans of SpanQuery.
> Most of the documentation is in the javadoc for SpanQueryParser.
> Any and all feedback is welcome. Thank you.
> Until this is added to the Lucene project, I've added a standalone
> lucene-addons repo (with jars compiled for the latest stable build of Lucene)
> on [github|https://github.com/tballison/lucene-addons].
