If you wish to do ONLY a range search, you must select all lines with
mv_return_all=yes in order to make the
search operate. Range-only searches will be quite slow for large databases,
since every line must be
scanned. It should be quite usable for catalogs of less than 10,000 items
in size, given a fast machine. Using
it in combination with another search technique (in the same query) will
yield faster search returns.

So you will probably need to include ra=yes in the URL.

Cheers, Frank
