Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-5205:
--------------------------------------

I missed this originally, sorry about that, but I jst had a quick look at the 
patch.

I think this has a lot more possibilities than the surround parser. So much 
more that this might actually replace the surround parser.
Your target should be the queryparser module I think. Hopefully that will bring 
more users and perhaps even some maintainers.

A few details:

There is no AND query, that is a pity, but I see the point. I remember the 
struggle I had to combine Boolean and Span queries in surround.
A user interface that provides a QueryFilter might well be enough for most 
users.

Are there test cases for the recursive queries? I may have overlooked them.

The source code indentation is not 2 spaces everywhere.

> This parser 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.
> 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)
>  
> 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.
> In combination with a QueryFilter, has been very useful for concordance tasks 
> and for analytical search.  SpanQueries, of course, can also be used as a 
> Query for regular search via IndexSearcher.
> Until LUCENE-2878 is closed, this might have a use for fans of SpanQuery.
> Most of the documentation is in the javadoc for SpanQueryParser.
> I'm happy to throw this in the Sandbox, if desired.
> Any and all feedback is welcome.  Thank you.
