Description
Query parser does not handle the ! (exclamation point) in the same way as the - (hyphen).
A string query with the final character being a ! causes a ParseException
"foo-" OK
"foo+" OK
"foo!" ERROR - Parse Exception
"foo! " OK (trailing white space)
I am using version 3.5 (have tried 3.6.1 - same issue) I was hoping 2566 may also have fixed this issue

Research direction
Start by reproducing the QueryParser behavior with the issue's four query strings, then trace how a terminal ! is parsed relative to - and +. Done means "foo!" parses without a ParseException while the other listed cases continue to work.
