I'm calling REST to submit a job search and always it considers All Time and ignores the earliest..

Is there anything wrong in the search query i am posting?

search=search "index=center host=center* AND sourcetype=abf:afz.log "DebugLogSubmission" "time" earliest=-24h@h | rex time=(?[\d]+) |table _time mytime | head 100"
