Exists query does not work

[Zhincore]

Describe the bug

• I am trying to run an exists query through QueryParser, for example name:*.
• I get this error: Unsupported query: Range query need to target a specific field., I assume Fix error message when converting user input exists query into logical ast #2218 is related.
• I expected to get a query that matches all items with a name

Which version of tantivy are you using?
0.22.0

To Reproduce

1. Have a Tantivy setup, I didn't find any correlation with field types or anything.
2. Have QueryParser, e.g. let query_parser = QueryParser::for_index(&index, vec![ ...your default fields... ])
3. Try to parse an exists query query_parser.parse_query("name:*")
4. You get the above error :(

It's odd that ExistsQuery has been implemented, but this particular query pattern does not utilize it.

If there's no specific reason behind it, I'd be happy to hook them up.

ExistsQuery work. They are not integrated with the query parser. This is not a bug as long as documentation says otherwise.

Closing this issue.

@LebranceBW
It has been implemented for Quickwit, which uses its own query parser.
Generally speaking I strongly recommend people building something serious to implement their own query parser.
Feel free to open a feature ticket if you want to contribute the addition of this syntax in tantivy's query parser.

I've submitted issue #2514 and PR #2513 for the newly supported syntax. Could you please take a moment to review them? @fulmicoton
