... that is, if the user sets some relevant option / setting for such
"numerical search" (as explained in comment 17); otherwise keep the current
behavior.

As for the scientific notation issue, please keep in mind that sometimes the
value is in itself introduced in scientific notation, sometimes the (display)
format is in scientific notation, and sometimes it is just a matter of column
width (in which a "General/Standard" format is used and the normal
non-scientific notation can be shown by simply widening the column's width).
