: i'm not sure i follow what you're saying on #3. let me clarify in case it's
: on my end. i was wanting to *eventually* set a lower bound of -10%size1 and
: an upper of +10%size1. for the sake of experimentation i started with just
lower bound "of what" ?
write out the math equation you want to satisfy, and you'll see that based
on your original problem statement there are 3 numbers involved
X) 0.1
Y) some fixed numeric value give by your user
Z) some field value of each document
You said you wnat to find documents where the field value Z is within
10% (X) of the value Y that your user specified...
Find all docs such that:
Z <= Y + Y*X
Z >= Y - Y*X
At no point in the query/function you were attempting, did you ever
specify fixed numeric value provided by your user. What you had written
was:
Find all docs such that:
Z >= Z + Z*X
That's the point i'm making in #3...
