I think a user would expect a ParseException. Probably, every query parser user
catches ParserException and show a nice message to its final user. Now, if the
query parser starts throwing random exception to say the syntax is invalid,
every software that uses Lucene query parser is gonna start crashing. For me
it's like if a compiler started throwing segmentation fault every time you
forget a } in the code.

That's a fair point - addressable though - we can likely catch and rethrow in
the worst case.
I'll admit, the ... non exactness ... of this parser troubled me at first - one
of the reasons I liked contrib as a landing spot early on. I took it for what
it is in the end I suppose. I think the shortfalls brought up so far can be
addressed to a large degree though.

> Key: LUCENE-1486

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: QueryParser
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Mark Harwood
> Assignee: Mark Harwood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.9

>
> An extension to the default QueryParser that overrides the parsing of
> PhraseQueries to allow more complex syntax e.g. wildcards in phrase queries.
> The implementation feels a little hacky - this is arguably better handled in
> QueryParser itself. This works as a proof of concept for much of the query
> parser syntax. Examples from the Junit test include:
> checkMatches("\"j* smyth~\"", "1,2"); //wildcards and fuzzies
> are OK in phrases
> checkMatches("\"(jo* -john) smith\"", "2"); // boolean logic
> works
> checkMatches("\"jo* smith\"~2", "1,2,3"); // position logic
> works.
>
> checkBadQuery("\"jo* id:1 smith\""); //mixing fields in a
> phrase is bad
> checkBadQuery("\"jo* \"smith\" \""); //phrases inside phrases
> is bad
> checkBadQuery("\"jo* [sma TO smZ]\" \""); //range queries
> inside phrases not supported
> Code plus Junit test to follow...
