I have read this:
http://xapian.org/docs/matcherdesign.html
However, it seems that there are little words about Range-Search/ValueRangeProcessor.
What I am wonder is how valuerange-search works.
For example:
If I input 20090416..20090419, does Xapian rebuilt my query into 20090416,20090417,20090418
 20090419 and retrieval them separately ?
 Or,does Xapian find start '20090416' and end '20090219' in the database,then return all the 
docs between them?
Or, Xapian works it out in other way?

Would you please give me some advice or guide?
My work is in a mess now.
Thanks a lot!
