this improvement was started to improve code coverage
but also improves performance and adds support for escaping
escaping:
The following quoted string enumerates the characters which
may be escaped.
"+-=&|><!(){}[]^\"~*?:\\/ "
Note that this list includes space.
In order to escape these characters, they are prefixed with the \
(backslash) character. In all cases, using the escaped version
produces the character itself and is not interpretted by the
lexer.
Two simple examples:
my\ name
Will be interpretted as a single argument to a match query
with the value "my name".
"contains a\" character"
Will be interpretted as a single argument to a phrase query
with the value `contains a " character`.
