Hi guys,  
Im trying to learn Timelion query syntax for analyzing some data.  
The lucene query I am having trouble with is:  
"Pushing message to Queue" AND "\<alertSource.\>6\</alertSource.\>\<alertCode.\>96\</alertCode.\>"  
I cannot use only one of the strings since each of them will return a different amount of logs, therefor it's essential it will remain exactly like that.  
I used the function:  
.es(q='"Pushing message to Queue" AND "\<alertSource.\>6\</alertSource.\>\<alertCode.\>96\</alertCode.\>"') but it makes an error.  
How do can I make this work?
