Julian,

I cannot confirm this in AS5 (German edition). See the small JULIAN.ASK I
mailed to to you.

Given a notes[ field that contains entries like...

   notes[ Antony Bertha Conny
   notes[ 1 2

{count} commands like this will output...

{count} notes[ = 2  All documents with two entries in notes[
{count} notes[ > 2  All documents with more than two entries in notes[

You have to insert a blank space between field-name, operator and the
numeric search. Omitting the blank space, will provide erratic results.

Yours, Flo
