A space is a special character to the Solr query parser. It is a term delimiter. This means that if you are escaping all special characters, you have to escape the space. If you do not want the *entire* string treated as a single term for the query parser, then you cannot use escapeQueryChars. You'll need to write your own code that is aware of the specific special characters that you want to escape. Thanks, Shawn
