Hello ElasticSearch team - We have been using simple query string query for our use case. I just noticed that query string supports ranges (for instance date:[2012/01/01 TO 2012/12/31]). Since that is a very useful functionality, we wanted to check if there is any plan to support the same for simple query string query.
