Subject: Feature request: automatic numeric range search in Everything

Hello Everything Support Team,

I would like to suggest a feature that could make searching for folders with numeric sequences much easier.

Currently, when I want to search for folders or files with a range of numbers, for example from 200 to 249 or 250 to 259 (etc!), I have to use external tools like regex-range.com

In the past, there were very simple tools available — small, portable executables — that could quickly generate numeric ranges for searching files or folders. These tools were extremely convenient and lightweight.
Unfortunately, today I cannot find or download any of these portable tools anymore, which makes it much harder to perform numeric range searches efficiently.

example:
regex:《2024最.............................\((?:20[0-9]|2[1-4][0-9]|250)\)》mp3 .mp3 electro

Please try the number: search function:

number:200..249


number:250..259


number:



-or-

capture the number text with regex: and use tonumber:

For example:
regex:《2024最.............................\(\d+)》mp3 .mp3 electro tonumber:regmatch1:200..249


tonumber:
regmatch1:

It couldn't be simpler?, e.g.
[20998763, 6587654433]

Would this match a number range from 20998763 to 6587654433?
The issue here is this syntax is also a valid filename.

what about:
#:20998763..6587654433

#: hasn't been implemented yet, it was just an idea..

For now, please use:
regex:《2024.....\(\d+)》mp3 .mp3 electro tonumber:regmatch1:200..250
