This ticket is a placeholder for indexing fields that contain something other than strings, eg. dates and floats, to support range queries for either facets or searches, depending on what is finally decided.

Example date: production date
Example float: Coverage Central Wavelength(m)

Right now, we are indexing all fields as text_en per #485 (comment)

In practice, these are all astro fields right now (resolution.Spatial, coverage.RedshiftValue, etc.) and there's a doc called "Astro range queries" at https://docs.google.com/a/harvard.edu/document/d/19DB4heSUMTm2CNTJFjt9AUDfaaZUZvdoh1QGhedXWkk/edit?usp=sharing where I tried to spur some discussion of what the UI should look like. See also #3478 which was originally asking about the UI for dates.
