I'm trying to do a simple contains regexp query, along the lines of .*{searchTerm}.*, and need to escape special characters. I saw this in the Elasticsearch documentation:
"Additionally, any characters (except double quotes) are interpreted literally when surrounded by double quotes: john"@smith.com"
This works well, except that my search term could also contain double quotes. So how can I escape for everything, including double quotes? Is my only option here to manually do a .replace() for each of the special characters?
