I am not able to use the view on the price values. I think this is perfectly within the scope of the project and should have been a feature implemented.

Thank you for highlighting this to us! The current view -f (find) function is scoped to search only for string attributes due to project timeline constraints. While we initially aimed to create a comprehensive search function capable of handling all data types, we prioritized delivering a functional proof-of-concept feature within the given timeframe. Focusing on string attributes allowed us to demonstrate the system’s search capabilities without compromising the quality or stability of other core features.

This scoped implementation reflects a deliberate trade-off to meet deadlines while maintaining a stable product. Expanding the find function to support non-string attributes is part of our future plans, requiring additional logic to handle extra data types. By defining this limitation in the current iteration, we ensured a maintainable, valuable feature while leaving room for further development in subsequent versions.
