Actually, I spoke too soon. It appears that this class has the same
problem with negative numbers. For example:
>> Person.search("latitude_string:[00000000000000 0000000000nesr]").length
=> 7
>> Person.search("latitude_string:[-1y2p0ij321x6p 0000000000nesr]").length
=> 0
I've expanded my range, so shouldn't the number of results be at least
what it was with all 0's? I've tried with quotes too, and it doesn't
help. Again though, if I do the following (note the quotes):
>> Person.search("latitude_string:(> '-1y2p0ij321x6p' AND <
0000000000nesr").length
=> 7
It works...
So what i've done, is because I'm only working with longitudes and
latitudes, which are guaranteed to lie between -500 and 500, I'm just
adding 500 to them, to make them all positive, and then I can use the
range queries...and I wrote my own little number to string thing,
since I'm working with small values. But nevertheless I thank you for
your help.
