Description

• makes it possible to hook in totally different serialization formats for the generated queries.
• the parser has been expanded to also support
• backslash escape chars
• makes brace support optional
• properly implements fielded terms
• make the parser itself is extensible.

here is a proof of concept fork I did:
http://github.com/lsmith77/phpSolrQueryParser/

And a blog explaining how I am using it:

Since I will not sign a CLA that includes a software patent clause, I guess someone needs to reimplement things.

Sub-Tasks

• make the parser extensible: Open
• add backslash token support to the parser: Open
• fix support for field prefixed terms: Open
• decouple query generation from the parser: Open
