Here are some possible solutions :
1-) use lucene query parser and escape all of the special characters. (There is
a static method for this in QueryParser class)
2-) use dismax query parser and escape '+', '-' and '"'. Note that dismax
automatically escapes remaining special characters.
3-) use termQParserPlugin or rawQParserPlugin
