I am developing an html/javascript app which allows users to search in a local database. I would like to support very advanced search queries like: abc | "def ghi" !jkl

I need to parse this kind of plex expressions in order to build the corresponding SQL query.

So, what I am looking for is a flexible parser written in javascript and it should let me define my expression grammar.

pegJS : http://pegjs.majda.cz/ should also do the trick.

Jison is a JavaScript parser generator, written in JavaScript.

And yes, it is really flexible and lets you define your own grammar.
