Description

I'd like to have a new QueryParser implementation in Lucene 3.1, ideally based on the new QP framework in contrib. It should share as much code as possible with the current StandardQueryParser implementation for easy maintainability.

Wish list (feel free to extend):

1. Operator precedence: Support operator precedence for boolean operators
2. Opaque terms: Ability to plugin an external parser for certain syntax extensions, e.g. XML query terms
3. Improved RangeQuery syntax: Use more intuitive <=, =, >= instead of [] and {}
4. Support for trierange queries: See LUCENE-1768
5. Complex phrases: See LUCENE-1486
6. ANY operator: E.g. (a b c d) ANY 3 should match if 3 of the 4 terms occur in the same document
7. New syntax for Span queries: I think the surround parser supports this?
8. Escaped wildcards: See LUCENE-588
