If you want to combine multiple queries - in this case the range and the query string - you will have to wrap them in a bool query. This is how the correct query will look like:

> ```
> {
> "query": {
> "bool": {
> "must": [
> {
> "query_string": {
> "analyze_wildcard": true,
> "query": "failed to add key to cache"
> }
> },
> {
> "range": {
> "@timestamp": {
> "gte": "now-500d"
> }
> }
> }
> ]
> }
> }
> }
> 
> ```
