: second, and assuming your problem is really that you're looking at the : _display_, you should get back exactly what you put in so I'm guessing
Not quite ... With the numeric types, the numeric value is both indexed and stored so that there is no search/sort inconsistency between 1.1, 1.10, 001.1 etc... those are all the number "1.1" and are treated as such. if you have an input string of that you want preserved verbatim, then you need to use a string type. It doesn't matter if those strings *look* like numbers or not, if you consider "27.50" to be different from "27.5" then those aren't numbers, they are strings. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
