             Summary: Adding Escape Character in GQL
                 Key: JCR-4042
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4042
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jackrabbit-jcr-commons
            Reporter: Ankit Agarwal


currently GQL does not have a escape character. Adding the escape character 
will help in special character cases for example where a search term contaoins 
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.
