RangeQuery Note

[host unknown]

Hi All,

I've spent the weekend mulling over a problem I had with a RangeQuery over a Price field. The problem was that prices can range from 1 to many digits (no cents, just dollars). My searches were returning inconsistent results. After much debugging and playing around I found that 99 != 000099. I've since converted all my prices to zero filled strings of length 8 and the searches are working properly.

Question/Comment:

Is this a bug in the sense that searching a range from 0 to 100 should return 99 (as opposed to 099)? if it isn't this might make a helpful note in the javadoc.

Have a great day,
Dominic
