We wonder if Flexmonster can handle such numbers as '<=50' or '>40' with comparison operators prepending number values? Currently if we have such numbers it causes Flexmonster to switch its behavior to only counting the number of items instead of averaging them out. We wonder if there are any configs that could allow that or we need to strip these operators from numbers first.

Hello, Nikita!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Kindly note that by default, Flexmonster recognizes field data types automatically, so it considers the fields with special symbols and numbers as string fields. You can explicitly set the number data type to such fields using mapping.
We have prepared an example to illustrate the idea: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/9d6ogew2/. Please note that special symbols like ">" or "<=" are ignored when converting a field to a number.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Solomiia

Sure, it helped a lot. Currently we decided to strip away operators and just feed the data without them, but its good to know that we can avoid that too.
Thank you!
