> Escaping special characters by using Text.escapeIllegalXpathSearchChars works only on last special character.
> fullText = "Moving to Alabama? Start Off on the Left Foot!";
> println Text.escapeIllegalXpathSearchChars(fullText);
> Moving to Alabama? Start Off on the Left Foot\!
> fullText = "Moving to Alabama! Start Off on the Left Foot!";
> println Text.escapeIllegalXpathSearchChars(fullText);
> Moving to Alabama! Start Off on the Left Foot\!
> fullText = "Moving to Alabama! Start Off on the Left Foot?";
> println Text.escapeIllegalXpathSearchChars(fullText);
> Moving to Alabama! Start Off on the Left Foot\?
> And such partially escaped string cannot be used in full text search in JCR it doesn't throw errors but also doesn't return any nodes
