Postcode / Contacts Search

What is in the database for the postcodes, stored in each ‘contact’ post? Is it a list of postcodes each contact serves (a list of multiple values), or is it two fields with a range (as you say, ‘From’ 01234 and ‘To’ 13000 (note, a number cannot start with a preceding 0)?

Currently I set up two fields with a range
One with the lowest Postcode and one with the highest Postcode

Problem with the “0” is that the desired postcodes in germany actually start with “0”

That’s fine. So, it would need to be set up similar to the code in this post:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/filter-by-year-and-separate-sort-control-2/#post-271160

The idea is to use a number range control, but modify manually the ranges it actually searches for, and modify the labels the users sees in the form. The concept is much the same though.

That code took me a long time to write and test (with help from our developer), and I only did it because it was a recurring request (for a year filter), so it seemed a worthwhile thing to attempt.
