Thanks.

I used NumberTool to convert the int to string. In 2.9, NumericField is =
to be used but it stores it based on some precision. I think the way the =
integer data gets indexed is changed from 2.4 to 2.9. This means my =
customers using 2.4.1 should rebuild their index.

Whether 2.9 could able to modify\search the index created by 2.4.1? Is =
backward compatibility maintained?

Regards
Ganesh
