In my case the query engine is very generic and, along side the QueryParser, doesn't know about the fields. So I can't decide whether a TermRangeQuery and a NumericRangeQuery.
How about a syntax like: > numericfield:[{1 TO 10}] > Using Luke this seems to parse into a TermRangeQuery with the { } in place. It should be possible to pick this case out in newRangeQuery and construct a NumericRangeQuery instead. Would you know if this is likely to cause other unwanted effects when used with more complicated query strings?
