I don't have a super great understanding of it either but [NumericRangeQuery (Lucene 4.0.0 API)](http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/core/org/apache/lucene/search/NumericRangeQuery.html#precisionStepDeschelped). keep in mind that that is lucene documentation so the defaults won't match Elasticsearch and some other specific may vary (though I don't know them). If you do cultivate a really good understanding of it then please reply and enlighten me.
