Lucene range query on tokenized string

Question

If I have a tokenized string, e.g. "12345 12346 12347", would a range query work on that field?

Answer 1

Not sure about .net, but in Java this would produce strange results. For string range queries, Lucene uses String.compareTo(String). So, for example,

"2".compareTo("10")

would result 1 which means that 2 is lexicographically greater than 10. At the same time, 1 is lexicographically less than 10. Is that what you want?
