I can verify that bad things are going on with backslashes and the
query parser in lucene 1.4.3
foo:hi\\ ==> foo:hi\
(foo:hi\\) ==> exception
foo:"hi\\" ==> foo:hi\\
foo:hi\\^3 ==> foo:hi\^3
foo:"hi \\ there" ==> foo:"hi \\ there"
foo:'hi there' ==> foo:'hi
foo:"\"" ==> exception
foo:hi\" ==> foo:hi"
So there appears to be no way to query for something with a quote and
a space in the same string...
IMHO, backslash should work as an escape inside quoted values.
