between( )

Refines a search to match items whose specified field value is within a specified range.

The between() method refines the search to only match items where the value of the specified field is greater than or equal to rangeStart and less than rangeEnd.

It only matches values of the same type. For example, a number value stored as a String type does not match the same number stored as a Number type.

If a field contains a number as a String, that value is compared alphabetically and not numerically. Items that do not have a value for the specified field are ranked lowest.

The following types of fields can be compared:

• Number: Compares numerically.
• Date: Compares JavaScript Date objects.
• String: Compares lexicographically, so
  • "A" and "M" are between "A" and "Z", but "a", "m", "z" and "Z" are not.
  • "A", "M", "Z", and "a" are between "A" and "z", but "z" is not.
