Hello.<div><br></div><div>As many of you know, I have been working on rewriting Koha&#39;s search code so that it is more palatable than a plate of burned nine-day-old spaghetti. The initial part of the development is nearing completion, and I look forward to submitting a patch to the community for sign off[1].</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the course of the first section of the development, I have run into an interesting question. We currently support greater than and less than operators in our searches, but I cannot think of anywhere we might want to use them other than with dates. Does anyone have any scenarios where a greater than/less than operator would actually be useful in a bibliographic or authority search (other than in date searches)?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Jared</div><div><br></div><div>[1] If you&#39;re interested in seeing my work so far, the search rewrite branch in my public repo has all the code: <a href="http://git.cpbibliography.com/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/search_rewrite">http://git.cpbibliography.com/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/search_rewrite</a></div>
