The terms are useful if you want to limit a search to the beginning or end of a file. This allows you to exclude documents from a search. For example, not pear would retrieve all documents that did not contain pear . A numeric range search is a search for any numbers that fall within a range. This request would find any document containing apple within 5 words of a number between 12 and 17 .
Numeric range searches only work with positive integers.
For purposes of numeric range searching, decimal points and commas are treated as spaces and minus signs are ignored. Using alphabet customization, the interpretation of punctuation characters can be changed. For example, if you change the comma and period from space to ignore , then 123,456.78 would be interpreted as 12345678 . MRC Search is powered by dtSearch.
