How do you insert a time range inside a query?

I am trying to define my search range inside a query by using the earliest / latest parameter or something similar. But, I am getting a syntax error. I tried a few different techniques.

The condition is...
"I want to count the number of events generated between 10 AM to 2 PM everyday for last 50 days"

Can you please try this?

YOUR_SEARCH
 | eval date_hour=strftime(_time, "%H") 
 | search date_hour>=10 date_hour<=14 | stats count

Adding minute filter

YOUR_SEARCH
    | eval date_hour=strftime(_time, "%H"), date_min=strftime(_time, "%M") 
    | search date_hour>10 date_hour<14 OR (date_hour=10 date_min>=30) OR (date_hour=14 date_min<=45)  | stats count

Thanks
