[Xapian-discuss] queryparser characters question

I'm a little unsure what gets split up and what doesn't.

I noticed that @#$%^ gets split on when in a query, but & doesn't...

eg: search term: aaa!bbb at ccc#ddd$eee%fff%ggg^hhh&iii
query: Xapian::Query((aaa:(pos=1) OR bbb:(pos=2) OR ccc:(pos=3) OR
ddd:(pos=4) OR eee:(pos=5) OR fff:(pos=6) OR ggg:(pos=7) OR
hhh&iii:(pos=8)))

Is there somewhere where this is documented?  I'd like to try to match
up my importing "splitting" to the queryparser.

Thanks!,
Eric
