Numeric or date (range) criteria are expressed by "<",">","<=",">=","=" and "..". Dates must be of yyyy-mm-dd format, possibly with added time as shown above. Also relative dates can be used by adding or subtracting from today. Numeric or date conditions are always assigned to a specified field.

Ordered Field Range Searches

Fields of the ORDERED datatype hold a fixed, ranked set of values (for example education levels or language-skill levels). They are queried with the same comparison operators as numeric ranges, but the boundary value may be given either as the raw numeric code or as the configured (translated) label:

educationlevel_international:>=bachelor
educationlevel_international:>="secondary education"
langskills:{name:english level:>intermediate}
langskills:{name:english level:>"basic knowledge"}

A label that contains whitespace (a multi-word value such as "secondary education" or a sub-level such as "basic knowledge") must be quoted. Without quotes the value is split into separate terms and only its first word is used as the boundary. The quoted label is back-translated to its numeric code for matching, and the resulting condition is displayed with the translated label.
