Will do.

This is correct in a conservative way. We quote things that we don't
strictly need to quote (for example, a double quote in the middle of a
term doesn't actually require the term to be quoted, but we do anyway),
but we look for the end of an unquoted term in exactly the same way
Xapian does.
