Recently I have been using a timestamp based query to get data form my ELK stack and avoid repeats. Now I would like to implement getting information between two specific timestamps.

Here is my current query:

```
{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "runtime_timestamp": {
       "gt": "2017-03-18T22:00:55.964Z"
    }  
   }
  },
  "_source": {
  "includes": [
  "field1",
  "field2"
]
},
"sort": [
{
  "@timestamp": {
    "order": "desc"
  }
}
]
}

```

I have looked at the docs and I can't seem to find a way to do it. Any ideas?

Add also lt or lte in the range query.
