We recently switched from QueryParser to ComplexPhraseQueryParser (from lucene-queryparser-3.6.0.jar), and we've come across two separate problems.
The first is that because it parses quoted expressions twice, it is necessary to double-escape any escaped characters. So if I do not want to allow users to include : in their search, I have to escape it as \:, but when it is in quotes, I have to escape it as \\:, because the first parse will turn \\ into \ and then the second time around will do the proper escape. Likewise, I need to escape \ because it shows up frequently in paths. When not in quotes, this is simply \\. In quotes, it must be \\\\. So that was a minor issue, but we were able to work around it without too much trouble. This next problem, though, does not seem to have an easy answer. Our searches for quoted phrases which include stop words no longer match. If a document contained the phrase "time to leave", only "time" and "leave" get indexed, but their positions are maintained so that a later search for "time to leave" works correctly. With the standard QueryParser, this worked just fine. With the ComplexPhraseQueryParser, it no longer works at all. Searching for time AND leave works, but "time to leave" simply fails. Does anyone know where I should start in solving this issue?
