Another way is to add a few terms to a coordinated search of products:
sf=iventory:quantity
se=1
op=>=
nu=1
But to do this, you need to go into the Design editor in the UI, and change
the searches for Categories (and/or Areas, if any of those links are
searches) to complex searches, and write your own search terms. You'll
also need to add the search terms to the
yourcat/templates/components/search_box_* files.
