I'm getting started with Google App Engine, and I'm using the Search API. Can I construct a search query against an Atom field if that field has quotation marks in it? I don't see a way to escape quote characters in the query documentation.

I'm confused, why do you need to escape anything? Why not just send the literal value? Can you give an example? – Daniel Roseman Mar 16 '14 at 09:30

Yes, you can escape quotation marks by preceding them with a backslash. Note that in this case the entire value should also be enclosed in quotation marks, as mentioned in this section of the documentation.
But an atom field with an embedded quotation mark seems rather weird. Why would you want to do such a thing?
