      public class QueryParser
      extends QueryParserBase
      implements QueryParserConstants

  This class is generated by JavaCC. The most important method is `QueryParserBase.parse(String)`. The syntax for query strings is as follows: A Query is a series of clauses. A clause may be prefixed by:
  - a plus (`+`) or a minus (`-`) sign, indicating that the clause is required or prohibited respectively; or
  - a term followed by a colon, indicating the field to be searched. This enables one to construct queries which search multiple fields.
  A clause may be either:
  - a term, indicating all the documents that contain this term; or
  - a nested query, enclosed in parentheses. Note that this may be used with a `+`/`-` prefix to require any of a set of terms.
  Thus, in BNF, the query grammar is:

         Query  ::= ( Clause )*
         Clause ::= ["+", "-"] [<TERM> ":"] ( <TERM> | "(" Query ")" )

  Examples of appropriately formatted queries can be found in the query syntax documentation.

  In `TermRangeQuery`s, QueryParser tries to detect date values, e.g. `date:[6/1/2005 TO 6/4/2005]` produces a range query that searches for "date" fields between 2005-06-01 and 2005-06-04. Note that the format of the accepted input depends on `the locale`. A `DateTools.Resolution` has to be set, if you want to use `DateTools` for date conversion.

  The date resolution that shall be used for RangeQueries can be set using `QueryParserBase.setDateResolution(DateTools.Resolution)` or `QueryParserBase.setDateResolution(String, DateTools.Resolution)`. The former sets the default date resolution for all fields, whereas the latter can be used to set field specific date resolutions. Field specific date resolutions take, if set, precedence over the default date resolution.

  If you don't use `DateTools` in your index, you can create your own query parser that inherits QueryParser and overwrites `QueryParserBase.getRangeQuery(String, String, String, boolean, boolean)` to use a different method for date conversion.

  Note that QueryParser is not thread-safe.

  NOTE: there is a new QueryParser in contrib, which matches the same syntax as this class, but is more modular, enabling substantial customization to how a query is created.
