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.
