We have several versions of lucene running on different systems. It could be that we didn't notice the problem in 4.1 and it was 3.3 where it seemed to work.
At any rate, I escaped the slash and now all of the unit tests run. Should have thought to try that myself. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, just go ahead and escape the slash, either with a backslash or by enclosing the whole term in quotes. Otherwise the slash (even embedded in the middle of a term!) indicates the start of a regex query term. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Scott Smith Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 2:50 PM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: classic.QueryParser - bug or new behavior? I just upgraded from lucene 4.1 to 4.2.1. We believe we are seeing some different behavior. I'm using org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.QueryParser. If I pass the string "20110920/EXPIRED" (w/o quotes) to the parser, I get: org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.ParseException: Cannot parse '20110920/EXPIRED': Lexical error at line 1, column 17. Encountered: <EOF> after : "/EXPIRED" at org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.QueryParserBase.parse(QueryParserBase.java:131) We believe this used to work. I tried googling for this and found something that said I should use QueryParser.escape() on the string before passing it to the parser. However, that seems to break phrase queries (e.g., "John Smith" - with the quotes; I assume it's escaping the double-quotes and doesn't realize it's a phrase). Since it is a forward slash, I'm confused why it would need escaping of any of the characters in the string with the "/EXPIRED". Has anyone seen this?
