Could you not just have six different fields?
If you wanted greater search efficiency, maybe you could try indexing
them as described above, as strings. You could use the 'shingles' idea,
for example, if you had: 11 22 33 44 55 66 as your numbers, index the
terms:
11
11-22
11-22-33
11-22-33-44

I'll always query on the set of 6 values, but in some cases, the matching
doesn't need to be exact.
I mean, an usual query (you know, 6 integer values) could be exact matching
for the first 4 values, but then a range for the other 2 values.
What do u think would be the best way to face it?

It depends on what kind of behavior you're looking for.
if for your queries the order of the 6 integer values doesn't matter you
could do:
then you could query with ORed or ANDed integer values over that field.
If the order matters but you always query on the "set" of 6 values, then you
turn y
