I have this query with range, text and sort in it. When I use range with sort or text with sort it works but when I try to use all three together it throws an error:

"Parse failure: failed to parse source"

I am not sure why it's not working as the error is not very clear. I checked the JSON using [jsonlint.com](http://jsonlint.com) and it's valid. Can I not use a combination of text and range query?

{  
"query" : {  
"text" : {  
"Content" : "fight"  
},  
"range" : {  
"UpdateTime" : {  
"from" : "20120601T000000",  
"to" : "20120630T235959"  
}  
}  
},  
"sort" : [{ "UpdateTime" : {"order" : "desc"} }]  
}
