[jira] [Updated] (JCR-4042) Adding Escape Character in GQL

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4042?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Julian Reschke updated JCR-4042:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently GQL does not have a escape character. Adding the escape character will help in special character cases for example where a search term contains both colon(:) and quote(") character.
for example search string is foo:bar, if term is put in quote "foo:bar" and this whole term is considered as a single search value. 
But in case user need to search foo"abc:bar then putting this term in quotes won't work. But if GQL will have a escape character, then user can search this term using escape character.
