Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have a problem where the users are inserting a query like field: value (with a space in the middle). So when we send the query to Quickwit, it fails (though in tantivy 0.24 it works, which is strange).

Describe the solution you'd like
We want to start using a Quickwit version with Tantivy 0.25 (which includes a fix for this, and we are assuming that once incorporated, Quickwit would be aligned).

Describe alternatives you've considered
A. Do our own parsing validation, which is error-prone and likely to be outdated
B. We saw the output AST does not have the space, so we were thinking of keeping the parsing as is, obtaining the AST, and serializing the AST. Like we would be "compiling" the expression and cleaning it up.

Additional context
The QW version we are using is qw-iridescent-20250415

Research direction

Start by locating Quickwit's dependency and release configuration for Tantivy and check how the qw-iridescent-20250415 version is built. Confirm whether Tantivy 0.25 can be incorporated without regressions, then verify that queries containing a space after the field colon are accepted.
