Issue search by custom number field

[chadunbehaun]

I created a custom number field with the number searcher template to store the number of days an issue has been in a status. The issue is when doing a issue search with the number custom field no results are returned.  If I do a "Field Name" > 0, nothing comes back.  I know that I can't do a quick search on custom number fields but I haven't seen anything saying it shouldn't work in the JQL issue search function.  What am I missing here?

Using 

Jira v8.5.4

Thank you for your time,

Figured this out.  Sorry for any time spent needlessly.  Had to re-index after setting the field values via scriptrunner console script
