Description

I'm running tests from our search logs, and we have a query that ends in a dash. That caused a stack trace.

org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse 'digging for the truth -': Encountered "<EOF>" at line 1, column 23.
Was expecting one of:
"(" ...
<QUOTED> ...
<TERM> ...
<PREFIXTERM> ...
<WILDTERM> ...
"[" ...
"{" ...
<NUMBER> ...
