About range filters

Range filters allow a user, at request time, to specify an arbitrary, dynamic range of values that are then used to limit the records returned for a navigation query.

The remaining refinement values for the records in the result set are also returned. For example, a range filter would be used if a user were querying for bicycle gloves within a price range, say between $10 and $40.

It is important to remember that, similar to record search, range filters are simply modifiers for a navigation query. The range filter acts in the same manner as an attribute value, even though it is not a specific system-defined attribute value.

Only records returned by the basic navigation request are considered when evaluating the range filter. You can use a range filter in a query on any of the record attributes.
