ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and program for searching documents for ranges of numeric values. Document identifiers for documents are accessed, wherein the documents include at least one value that is a member of a set of values. A number of posting lists are generated. Each posting list is associated with a range of consecutive values within the set of values and includes document identifiers for documents having values within the range of consecutive values associated with the posting list. Each document identifier is associated with one value in the set of values included in the document identified by the document identifier. The generated posting lists are stored.
