How can I edit my regex to exclude the words "query" and "in" from a string?

I'm trying to exclude the word query and in from my string to create a new field called query. I'm not having any luck excluding the two outliers.

| rex "(?P<"Query">(query)\b.*\b(in\s))"

Example String: Query id,caption,alttext,height,width,urlimage,tracking_name,tracking_link_name,tracking_section in.
Output desired: id,caption,alttext,height,width,urlimage,tracking_name,tracking_link_name,tracking_section
