Replace search syntax for entry search within a library by Lucene syntax #456

Closed koppor closed 4 years ago

koppor commented 4 years ago

Our search syntax is custom. Maybe switch to Lucence (https://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html)?

Steps:

  1. Dive into our powerful search syntax: https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/search
  2. Compare with lucene
  3. Evaluate whether a switch is possible
  4. Get rid off ANTLRv4
  5. Add an ADR
