The search query used in the
generateQueryString
function does not escape special characters specified in the escape_queries setting, and the query provided to it byarElasticSearchPluginQuery
has not been previously escaped either.This seems to have regressed during #1518 and I can't seem to find references to
escapeTerm
being called elsewhere and the search query escaping user provided special characters, so I'm updating this in the generateQueryString function to call escapeTerm to escape the search query so that this setting is respected.If there's a better place to make this function call to pre-escape the query string, let me know.
