? Using message filtering on LINES column

Can someone please explain how to use this effectivley?

I am trying to filter out messages that are showing as having lines that equal a specific number (as shown in the lines column)

I can't get it to work, if I enter the number I see it doesn't filter.

For example, a group has a number of messages showing a line count of 42517, but whatever I try to do to 'select' this size doesn't return any results. I do understand the logic of 'equal to' and <= and => etc so it's not that.

currently lines are filtered based on the first part of a partial message (this is why asterisk is shown). it may change, for now just use >= in practical terms it is not critical.
