Try this:

    <form action=[process-search] method=post>
     <input type=hidden name=fi value=products>
     <input type=hidden name=ra value=yes>
     <input type=hidden name=co value=yes>

     <input type=hidden name=sf value=bedrooms>
     <input type=hidden name=se value=4>
     <input type=hidden name=op value=">=">
     <input type=hidden name=nu value="1">

     <input type=hidden name=sf value=bedrooms>
     <input type=hidden name=se value=7>
     <input type=hidden name=op value="<=">
     <input type=hidden name=nu value="1">
     <input type=submit value=search>
     </form>

Range look should still work, but it has been a while since it
was tested.
