[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-5336) Add a simple QueryParser to parse human-entered queries.

Marcio Napoli commented on LUCENE-5336:
---------------------------------------

Believe to be interesting to include support for prefix/suffix (term* or *term*) and also the data range [20120910 TO 20130101]? Thanks!

> I would like to add a new simple QueryParser to Lucene that is designed to parse human-entered queries.  This parser will operate on an entire entered query using a specified single field or a set of weighted fields (using term boost).
> All features/operations in this parser can be enabled or disabled depending on what is necessary for the user.  A default operator may be specified as either 'MUST' representing 'and' or 'SHOULD' representing 'or.'  The features/operations that this parser will include are the following:
> * AND specified as '+'
> * OR specified as '|'
> * NOT specified as '-'
> * PHRASE surrounded by double quotes
> * PREFIX specified as '*'
> * PRECEDENCE surrounded by '(' and ')'
> * WHITESPACE specified as ' ' '\n' '\r' and '\t' will cause the default operator to be used
> * ESCAPE specified as '\' will allow operators to be used in terms
> The key differences between this parser and other existing parsers will be the following:
> * No exceptions will be thrown, and errors in syntax will be ignored.  The parser will do a best-effort interpretation of any query entered.
> * It uses minimal syntax to express queries.  All available operators are single characters or pairs of single characters.
> * The parser is hand-written and in a single Java file making it easy to modify.
