        string, then the number will not be found. For example, if you search for 001

        following operators to limit your search: =, >, <, >=, and =<. The and, or, and
        to operators can be used to search for a range of values. For example, type
        800-00-000 to 900-00-0000 to find documents containing values within this
        range.
