Escaping

      +

      The following quoted-string enumerates the characters which may be escaped:

      "+-=&|><!(){}[]^\"~*?:\\/ "
      This list contains the space character.

      In order to escape these characters, they are prefixed with the \ (backslash) character. In all cases, using the escaped version produces the character itself and is not interpreted by the lexer.

      For example:

      • my\ name is interpreted as a single argument to a match query with the value "my name".

      • "contains a\" character" is interpreted as a single argument to a phrase query with the value contains a " character.
