Hi, Thanks for the previous explanation. I can't use Range Query as I need to search something like born in 200? to find all that were born in 2001, 2002, ... 2006 Or do you think this will work people:["born in 2001" TO "born in 2006"] But it is much easier for the user to search people:"born in 200?"
