*TL;DR:* A question about addressbook-query implementation of escaped search values. *The background:* In a VCard, Some types are multi-value with a type dependent separator. Example from the RFC (with one escaped separator added): ADR;GEO="geo:12.3457,78.910";LABEL="Mr. John Q. Public, Esq.\n Mail Drop: TNE QB\n123 Main Street\nAny Town, CA 91921-1234\n U.S.A.":;;123 Main *Street;Any \; Town*;CA;91921-1234;U.S.A. Each component is escaped as expected. *My question:* In implementing addressbook-query text match value, how should I escape? In an example, say I want to filter and find the above value. My guess is that the value to search with will be: *"Street;Any \; Town"* This means that the server query processor will have to unescape the value component by component after a split on the type specific separator. Is that right? Thanks, Avner Aviad
