I need to do typed range queries on record ids and dates. When I call  
Ferret::Search::TypedRangeQuery I get the error:

NameError: uninitialized constant Ferret::Search::TypedRangeQuery

Is TypedRangeQuery supported in AAF? I am using Ferret gem 0.11.6 and  
AAF 0.4.3. If its not supported, is there any other way of accomplishing  
a typed range query? I tried using a RangeQuery and setting the  
following in the model:

acts\_as\_ferret :fields =\> { :id\_sort =\> { :index =\> :untokenized },  
:updated\_at\_sort =\> { :index =\> :untokenized }, …}, :ferret =\> {  
:use\_typed\_range\_query =\> true }

…but this didn’t work either. The search results indicate ferret is  
treating the ids as strings. It seem to do the correct thing with date  
ranges however.

Looks like it’s not supported in 0.11.6. It’s in “current”. Nice  
feature, look forward to using it when it’s released.
