You could try with field transformation

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0.3/Knowledge/Createandmaintainsearch-timefieldextract...

Add the following to your transform
REGEX = <(\w+)>([^<]+)
FORMAT = $1::$2
MV_ADD = true

With this, if a the same field appears more than once, it will get added as a multi-value field and you can use the multivalue functions in your search
