Numeric range search Leave feedback

Numeric range search or numerical search allows you to search documents for integer numbers in the range from 0 to 9223372036854775807 (Int64.MaxValue). Please note that a number in the text must not be separated by spaces; otherwise, it is treated as several numbers. A search query of this type is specified as follows:

number ~~ number

The example below demonstrates the numeric range search in text and object forms.

import os

from groupdocs.search import Index, SearchQuery

# Creating an index in the specified folder
index = Index("./index")

# Indexing documents from the specified folder
index.add("./documents")

# Search with text query
result1 = index.search("500 ~~ 600")

# Search with object query
query2 = SearchQuery.create_numeric_range_query(500, 600)
result2 = index.search(query2)

# Printing the numbers found in each document
print("Documents found by the text query:", result1.document_count)
print("Documents found by the object query:", result2.document_count)
for document in result2:
    print("   ", os.path.basename(document.document_info.file_path), document.terms)

Documents found by the text query: 1
Documents found by the object query: 1
    library-stats.txt ['550']

Since version 26.10, numeric range search uses as many threads as there are processor cores by default. Therefore, the order of the found numbers in the search result may differ from run to run. To get the same order every time, set the search_threads index setting to NumberOfThreads.ONE.

You may easily run the code from documentation articles and see the features in action in our GitHub examples:
