You can configure what keywords and ranges the parser should accept with the options argument.
It accepts 2 values:
* `keywords`, that can be separated by commas (,)
* `ranges`, that can be separated by a hyphen (-)
It accepts 3 values:
* `keywords`, that can be separated by commas (,). Accepts an array of strings.
* `ranges`, that can be separated by a hyphen (-). Accepts an array of strings.
* `tokenize`, that controls the behaviour of text search terms. If set to `true`, non-keyword text terms are returned as an array of strings where each term in the array is a whitespace-separated word, or a multi-word term surrounded by single- or double-quotes.
Both values take an array of strings, as in the example just above.
If no keywords or ranges are specified, or if none are present in the given search query, then `searchQuery.parse` will return a string.
If no keywords or ranges are specified, or if none are present in the given search query, then `searchQuery.parse` will return a string if `tokenize` is false, or an array of strings under the key `text` if `tokenize` is true.
```javascript
var searchQuery = require('search-query-parser');
var query = 'a query with just text';
var query = 'a query with "just text"';
var parsedQuery = searchQuery.parse(query);
// parsedQuery is now 'a query with just text'
// parsedQuery is now 'a query with "just text"'
var options = {keywords: ['unused']};
var parsedQueryWithOptions = searchQuery.parse(query, options);
// parsedQueryWithOptions is now 'a query with just text'
// parsedQueryWithOptions is now 'a query with "just text"'
var options2 = {tokenize: true};
var parsedQueryWithTokens = searchQuery.parse(query, options2);
// parsedQueryWithTokens is now: ['a', 'query', 'with', 'just text']
