hmm, i must admit that I still can't get it to work with simple 
numbers. I have a field with the number "20002" but it doesn't matter 
wether i use text or field index it still don't work. Am I forgetting 
something ?? And yes - I reindex the cataloge before searching.


But I will look into the date thing right now!!!
