How are non-string data types treated by the search engine?

When using attribute values that aren't strings, there are a few things you need to be aware of:

• numbers are the only additional data type that can be indexed for search: null & boolean values are not searchable.
• Non string data types have to be manually added to your searchable attributes.
• JSON allows you to send numbers in different notations (e.g. “1000“ vs “1e3“ → the engine indexes both as “1000“)
