Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's the price range on reasonable ones?
Looking at the iTunes store, I'd say $50-ish to $100 or more....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that's a search that matches if page contains a number within the specified range. Like a dollar range. I suppose, if you combine that with a clever text search parameter, it could be useful.
Their example, $1500-$3000 leaves me unsure if I should use a currency indicator. Also, say I was interested in that range--wouldn't I get back a whole lot of pages date stamped--oh, any time the web has been active? Context-free numeric range searching seems a very odd thing to consider of value.
Dana, those look like just the sort of thing. And if she doesn't like them, I'll just keep them. I'm that sort of a Santa.

Hmm. How to value my sister...

My current headphones are cheap $10 ones from Target, but they're just plain headphones - they don't have a speaker or a button to answer calls, so if someone calls me while I'm listening to a podcast I have to take them off to talk.
The Apple-branded in-ear iPhone earbuds are $80. Which is way too much, but the $30 Altec-Lansing ones I used to have fell apart after a couple of months, so the extra $$ may be worth it in the end.

I already loved her with her jewelry. This is just because she needed to borrow my headphones for her trip to NZ. I was going to surprise her with replacements.
Dana, how long have you had the Sonys? I can't imagine shelling out $80 to replace the little Apple dealies. I'm not an audiophile, but even I don't think they're that good.

Hmm. A few months? Less than six.
I had the previous version of the Apple in-ear ones, and I liked them, but the price went up and they added features I didn't need, and as you say, $80 is high.

Can't argue with that.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I just view it as an option. Sort of, "if there is a numeric range inherent to your particular search, put it here, if not, ignore it."

Well, everything on that page is an option. I just wonder if the payoff if worth the coding effort, or it was just a neat idea that percolated to the top.
Was there demand? What are the use cases? Business analysts want to know.
