Exclamation points in queries cause "bad request" errors.

[omc]

An example error:

org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse '(Availability!) AND (type_s:Business)': Encountered " ")" ") "" at line 1, column 14

Any news on this?

Guessing most apps are dealing with this by stripping or escaping exclamation points before they get to acts_as_solr.

I'm accepting pull requests to address this issue in acts_as_solr itself.
