Hello.

As many of you know, I have been working on rewriting Koha'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].

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)?

Regards,

Jared

[1] If you're interested in seeing my work so far, the search rewrite branch in my public repo has all the code: http://git.cpbibliography.com/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/search_rewrite

The RFC is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/C_%26_P_Search_Rewrite_RFC and I would still welcome any and all comments.
