=== Range Query

Matches documents with fields that have terms within a certain range.
The type of the Lucene query depends on the field type, for `string`
fields, the `TermRangeQuery`, while for number/date fields, the query is
a `NumericRangeQuery`. The following example returns all documents where
`age` is between `10` and `20`:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "range" : {
        "age" : {
            "gte" : 10,
            "lte" : 20,
            "boost" : 2.0
        }
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------

The `range` query accepts the following parameters:

[horizontal]
`gte`:: 	Greater-than or equal to
`gt`::  	Greater-than
`lte`:: 	Less-than or equal to
`lt`::  	Less-than
`boost`:: 	Sets the boost value of the query, defaults to `1.0`
