## EQUAL

The `EQUAL` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a number that matches one of the numbers specified by you.

    FieldText=EQUAL{yourNumbers}:yourFields

where:

`yourNumbers` | is one or more numbers. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains one of these numbers.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains one of `yourNumbers`. If you want to specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=EQUAL{1234567890123}:ACCOUNT:KONTO

The `ACCOUNT` or `KONTO` field must contain the number 1234567890123 for the document to return.

    FieldText=EQUAL{3.9,4.9,7}:ID

The `ID` field must contain the number 3.9, 3.90, 4.9, 4.90, 7, or 7.0 for the document to return.

## GREATER

The `GREATER` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a number that is greater than a number you specify.

    FieldText=GREATER{yourNumber}:yourFields

where:

`yourNumber` | is a number. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains a number that is greater than this number. By default, the range is exclusive. You can add an equals sign (=) to include the number that you specify.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if the number in this field is greater than `yourNumber`. To specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=GREATER{66}:ID

The `ID` field must contain a number greater than 66 for the document to return.

    FieldText=GREATER{5.59}:PRICE:PREIS

The `PRICE` or `PREIS` field must contain a number greater than 5.59 for the document to return.

    FieldText=GREATER{=6}:QUANTITY

The `QUANTITY` field must contain a value of 6 or greater for the document to return.

## LESS

The `LESS` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a number that is smaller than a number that you specify.

    FieldText=LESS{yourNumber}:yourFields

where:

`yourNumber` | is a number. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains a number that is smaller than this number. By default, the range is exclusive. You can add an equals sign (=) to include the number that you specify.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if the number in this field is smaller than `yourNumber`. If you want to specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=LESS{66}:ID

The `ID` field must contain a smaller number than 66 for the document to return.

    FieldText=LESS{5.59}:PRICE:PREIS

The `PRICE` or `PREIS` field must contain a smaller number than 5.59 for the document to return.

    FieldText=LESS{=6}:QUANTITY

The `QUANTITY` field must contain a value of 6 or lower for the document to return.

## NOTEQUAL

The `NOTEQUAL` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a number that does not match a number that you specify.

    FieldText=NOTEQUAL{yourNumber}:yourFields

where:

`yourNumber` | is a number. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` does not contain this number.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field does not contain `yourNumber`. To specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=NOTEQUAL{1234567890123}:ACCOUNT:KONTO

The `ACCOUNT` or `KONTO` field must not contain the number 1234567890123 for the document to return.

    FieldText=NOTEQUAL{3.9}:ID

The `ID` field must not contain the number 3.9 for this document to return.

## NRANGE

The `NRANGE` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a number that falls in the inclusive range of two numbers that you specify.

    FieldText=NRANGE{yourNumbers}:yourFields

where:

`yourNumbers` | is two numbers, separated by a comma (there must be no space before or after the comma). A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains a number that falls within the inclusive range of the specified numbers (including decimal numbers). By default, the range is inclusive. You can use the greater than (<) and less than (>) symbols to specify an exclusive range. You can make either or both ends of the range exclusive.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains a number that falls within the inclusive range of `yourNumbers`. To specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=NRANGE{1,99}:CODE

The `CODE` field must contain a number between 1 and 99 (inclusive) for the document to return.

    FieldText=NRANGE{1234567890123,2345678901234}:ACCOUNT:KONTO

The `ACCOUNT` or `KONTO` field must contain a number between 1234567890123 and 2345678901234 (inclusive) for the document to return.

    FieldText=NRANGE{36.5,42.3}:CODE

The `CODE` field must contain a number between 36.5 and 42.3 (inclusive) for the document to return.

    FieldText=NRANGE{>1,5}:CODE

The `CODE` field must contain a value that is greater than 1, up to and including 5 for the document to return.
