Enables the \<\> operators. You can use \<\> to match a numeric range. For example: foo\<1-100\> # matches 'foo1', 'foo2' ... 'foo99', 'foo100' foo\<01-100\> # matches 'foo01', 'foo02' ... 'foo99', 'foo100' How to write query for this type of words, If i search for foo\<1-100\> i need to get the result as foo1,foo2,foo3................ Can anyone, please explain how to write query. ---

This can be done using Lucene - make sure your search bar is set to Lucene instead of KQL (this is shown to the right in the search bar - you can change it by clicking it). ---
