lt( )


Refines a search or filter to match documents whose specified field value is less than the specified value.

The lt() function refines a WixSearchBuilder to only match documents where the value of the specified field is less than the specified value.

lt() 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 will be compared alphabetically and not numerically. Documents that do not have a value for the specified field are ranked lowest.

The following types of properties can be compared:

  • Number: Compares numerically.
  • Date: Compares JavaScript Date objects.
  • String: Compares lexicographically, so "Text" is less than "text".

If other filters were previously used in the same WixSearchBuilder instance, lt() is applied using an and condition with previously set filters.
