Hi all,

I am using PHP to write REST query to ES .I am trying to search my ES with a query that contains date field. This is my query:  
{"query":{"bool":{"must":{"range":{"timeGenerated":{"from":"2013/4/1 09:14:08","to":"2013/4/1 09:14:08"}}}}}}

When I try this query it gives me no response from server -not empty-. When I remove the time portion from the date, it works!  
{"query":{"bool":{"must":{"range":{"timeGenerated":{"from":"2013/4/1","to":"2013/4/1"}}}}}}

Also I tried the tow queries from curl command line and it works fine.

regards,
