<br>
As many of you know, I have been working on rewriting Koha&#39;s search code so<br>
that it is more palatable than a plate of burned nine-day-old spaghetti.<br>
The initial part of the development is nearing completion, and I look<br>
forward to submitting a patch to the community for sign off[1].<br>
<br>
In the course of the first section of the development, I have run into an<br>
interesting question. We currently support greater than and less than<br>
operators in our searches, but I cannot think of anywhere we might want to<br>
use them other than with dates. Does anyone have any scenarios where a<br>
greater than/less than operator would actually be useful in a bibliographic<br>
or authority search (other than in date searches)?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Jared<br>

branch in my public repo has all the code:<br>
