title: How to escape special characters in sphinxQL fulltext search?
body: <p>in the sphinx changelog it says for 0.9.8:</p>
  
  <p>"added query escaping support to query language, and EscapeString() API call"</p>
  
  <p>can i assume, that there should be support for escaping special sphinx characters (@, !,
  -, ...) for sphinxQL, too? if so, maybe someone could point me to an example on this. i'm
  unable to find anything about it in the documentation or elsewhere on the net. </p>
  
  <p>how do you do fulltext search (using spinxQL), if the search-phrase contains one of the special characters? i don't like the idea very much to "mask" them during indexing.</p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
