Escaping Special Characters
Lucene supports escaping special characters that are part of the query
syntax. The current list special characters are
+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \
To escape these character use the \ before the character. For example
to search for (1+1):2 use the query:
\(1\+1\)\:2
