v1.0.0

What's changed

Search Parser 1.0 turns the component list into a full, extensible search language while preserving the original parse() workflow.

Query language

• Add boolean expressions with AND, OR, NOT, parentheses, and implicit AND.
• Add comparison operators: =, !=, >, >=, <, and <=.
• Add explicit and open-ended ranges using .., such as date:2026-01-01..2026-12-31, score:10.., and score:..20.
• Add null, missing, and existence queries.
• Add escaping for quotes, colons, commas, backslashes, and parentheses.
• Add structured parse diagnostics and strict parsing through parseResult().

Validation and integrations

• Add typed field schemas for allowlisting, coercion, enum validation, and database-field mapping.
• Add a parameterized SQL transform with named bindings and field-identifier validation.
• Add an Elasticsearch transform supporting boolean, term, range, wildcard, and existence queries.
• Make Eloquent transforms honor boolean expression grouping.
• Add query counting, array conversion, and JSON serialization.

Bug fixes

• Keep comma-separated Eloquent alternatives inside a nested WHERE group so OR clauses cannot escape surrounding conditions.
• Correct the Eloquent hashtag transform namespace and field reference.
• Use logical complements for negated comparisons and require all negated list alternatives to match.

Compatibility note

• The original parse() and transform APIs remain available.
• Legacy numeric ranges such as age:18-30 remain supported.
• Use the explicit .. separator for date and text ranges; hyphenated values are now treated as literal values instead of ambiguous ranges.

Verification

• 52 tests and 86 assertions pass on PHP 8.5.9.
• All PHP source and test files pass syntax checks.
• Composer strict validation passes.
