Depending on the range and the number of terms in your index within that range you could potentially have a lot of boolean query terms being generated. Pre Lucene 1.3-Final, we did not appreciate this, and had a lot of Out of Memory exceptions occurring. In 1.3-Final a limit on boolean query terms was intorduced, and this revealed our problem. We re-organised our index tin the light of that, and have had no exceptions since.
