Hoss, Your observation about the spaces seems very likely. I hence, removed the spaces, padded the numbers and also tried using the RangeFilter, but still I got the same result. Upon closer inspection of my code, I found that I was tokenizing the "id" field, which was rendering that field illegible for the filter. I promptly changed it to UNTOKENIZED and now the RangeFilter recognizes the field. I discovered that I'd have to take care of more issues before I can make sure that this works.
