Flávio Botelho commented on DS-564:
-----------------------------------
That's what i thought first, but then i realized in some use cases users might
want to use wildcards and that escape function also escape them:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/src/java/org/apache/lucene/queryParser/QueryParser.java
So maybe it only ':' we want to escape for the general use case? In our
specific case the escape function would work fine, but i dunno if other
instances have users using wildcards or other lucene special chars like '~'?
