Ferret talk - Jul 2007 - How to use fixnum in RangeQuery?

As far as i know about the RangeQuery is that it need fixed-length
number in query options such as RangeQuery.new(:count, :>= =>
''00'', :<=> ''99'').
But is there a mechanism to use a fixnum in the options instead of
filling the left with 0?
Regards.

No, you have to use strings. You could write a wrapper around RangeQuery
that accepts Fixnums and does the left padding to the width of your 
largest field value of course.
