In general, just escape things. See: http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/queryparsersyntax.html#Escaping Special Characters
<http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/queryparsersyntax.html#Escaping Special Characters>But I have to say that you might want to consider carefully whether this is a good idea. Do your users really expect "search for quoted phrase" to fail to match "search for "quoted" phrase"? And how will you figure out what to quote? Or will you *require* that users enter completely syntactically correct searches? That is, will "search for "quoted phrase" be transformed into "search for "quoted" phrase" or "search for "quoted phrase""? You may be better off just dropping everything that's not alphanum from your processing....
