"Greater than" equivalent?

["Michael J. Prichard" <mi...@mac.com>]

I have a filtering process that checks my index for various things.  I 
have an "itemid" field in this index and I keep track of the last itemid 
I search up to.  I was wondering if there was an equivalent to doing a 
search with a "greater than" clause?  Sort of like:

to:blah@blah.com AND subject:happy AND itemid: >125688

I think you could use a range (either a RangeQuery or RangeFilter).  So your
range (from your example) would be between 125688 and 1000000000 or some
such...

Be careful of a RangeQuery throwing TooManyClauses if your range contains
more than 1024 (default) distinct entries, which means I'd recommend using
the RangeFilter is your first option.....
