Shai Erera closed LUCENE-271.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem
      Assignee:     (was: Lucene Developers)

This is documented by Query.toString() now and according to the comments on the issue, it's not clear that we can handle it consistently across all queries. Given that it's inactive for so long, I'm closing it.

> The Javadoc says that Query.toString(String field) produces a string 
> representation that is readable by QueryParser.
> QueryParser gives the ability to escape special characters
> + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \
> with a preceding backslash, but Query.toString() doesn't make any escaping.
> So, QueryParser can parse dc\:title:hugo into a TermQuery with field dc:title 
> and text hugo but toString() gives back dc:title:hugo (which gives a somewhat 
> different result when parsed again, actually a TermQuery with field dc and 
> text title, hugo goes in outer space).
