search with match against integer fields will crash about speedtables HOT 6 CLOSED

New work branch "issue54".

from speedtables.

I don't see a useful behavior for match on integers, so my preference is to make match on integer be an error. Maybe if you converted them on the fly to strings and then did a string match, but, yuk.

Match on floats probably also will crash for the same reason as integers.

Jeff - can you check issue54 and maybe merge it if you're happy with the results?

Also added checks in tests for this case.

Seems to work. I'll merge it into master.

connect {fa_birdseye - connect from ::1 51008 - help for help}
inflight search -compare "{match arrivalTime 123456}"
error {term "arrivalTime" must be a string type for "match" operation while processing search compare}
inflight search -compare "{= arrivalTime 123456}"
ok 0
