I have noticed for some time now that when searching for a value, inputs larger than ~1e19 (2^63) are not processed correctly.

As example, imagine you want to search for a double value equal to 1e35. Putting this value into the search field will not yield the result. When searching for values between 1e34 and 1e36, it will show a lot of values outside that scope without finding the desired value.

My guess is that the input is read as 64bit integer instead of double and thus the search ends up being very wrong. The only useful thread I could find about this is /forum/viewtopic.php?t=605244 in which it is mentioned that the problem lies in the input parsing.

Is there any fix for this? Alternatively, could this be fixed for future updates of CE?

Here is an example of what I mean. Obviously the input is not processed correctly as there are hundreds of millions of results that are in fact not bigger than 1e100


However, it works correctly for values below 2^63:
