Django and Haystack search issue

I am running Python 2.6, the lastest haystack, django 1.2 beta and I have tried both Woosh and Xapian backends.

The problem is that I cannot do a __lt or __gt filter on an integer field - when such is used,there are always none results found...

My model:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Create your models here.

I have tried everything - zero padding the integers, reseting my app a gazillion times and I still cannot get any luck! The fields ignored are buying_place_from/until buying_space_from/until and the same goes for rental fields - NOTHING seems to affect them, if any filter is used - there are 0 results... thank you in advice!

I don't have a real answer, but here's how I would look for it:

Try logging/printing the query you're actually building here (sqs just before the end of the search method). it might give you clues as to what is wrong.

Try running the same kind of query (same set of filters) in the shell. what results do you get?

Why are you using CharField for the ClientIndex when you can use IntegerField there?

Also if you zero-pad the integers saved in the CharField, make sure that you zero-pad the searched value too.
