# Method name: ge(field: string, value: any)

# Method package: wixSearch

# Method menu location: wixSearch --> WixSearchFilterBuilder --> ge

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-search/wix-search-filter-builder/ge.md

# Method Description:

Creates a search filter for matching documents whose specified field value is greater than or equal to the specified value.

The `ge()` function is chained to a `WixSearchFilterBuilder` to create a `WixSearchFilter`.
 You can use the filter to match documents where the value of the specified field is greater than or
 equal to the specified `value`.

 `ge()` 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 fields can be compared:

 + Number: Compares numerically.
 + Date: Compares JavaScript Date objects.
 + String: Compares lexicographically, so `"text"` is greater than or equal to `"Text"` (because of the 'greater than').



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Create a greater than or equals search filter

```javascript
import wixSearch from 'wix-search';

// ...

const geFilter = wixSearch
  .filter()
  .ge("viewCount", 50);
```

## Create multiple filters and combine them

```javascript
import wixSearch from 'wix-search';

// ...

const filterBuilder = wixSearch.filter();

const geLikeFilter = filterBuilder.ge("likeCount", 20);

const geViewFilter = filterBuilder.ge("viewCount", 100);

const andFilter = filterBuilder.and(geLikeFilter, geViewFilter);
```
