> I get that nobody wants to have to deal with javacc to change the syntax
Sure, no worries - I don't have to commit it to Lucene and can apply it
externally.
Let me explain my motivation of why I thought it'd be useful though - it's
not about changing javacc - I can change the syntax with no problem - it's that
a great many folks I deal with who use Lucene search systems never look
(deeply) at the documentation. They don't get the difference or need for things
things that are more obvious to programmers. For these users foo:[5 TO 6],
foo:{5 TO 6], foo:(5 TO 6) and foo:(5 to 6) is the same even if all of these
are different queries in the flexible query parser... My experience is that
even the sophisticated search-interface users rarely go beyond boolean queries
(maybe sprinkled with fuzzy or wildcards). These can be large queries, but
structurally they're simple.
I'll just leave this as a PR/ patch, perhaps an idea for a better general
solution will come to me in the future.
