Is there an implementation of a search term sanitizer for Elasticsearch in Scala?

Question

I'm looking for a method that would sanitize search terms passed to elastic search, i.e. escape all the control characters. Something like what is described in Ruby in this answer. Is there such a thing for Scala?

Answer 1

There are provided libs for this that you're probably better off using

import org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.QueryParserBase
....    
val escapedQ = QueryParserBase.escape(rawQuery)
