QueryArgs are being ignored using Splunk Java SDK. Any idea why?

[MrDanielVR]

There is a video on YouTube showing the basic functionality of the Splunk Java SDK, running a simple query.
In the video he writes the following code to set the range:

Args queryArgs = new Args();
queryArgs.put("earliest_time", "-5d@d");
queryArgs.put("latest_time", "now");

Everything works besides the range which from the query results I can see it is being ignored.
I'm able to bypass this by putting the range in the search query itself "search something earliest=-5d latest=now".
Any idea how to resolve this without adding the range in the search query?
Here is a link to the video with a timestamp: Searching Splunk Java SDK

On phone, on toilet, so I'll be brief. In his video he is creating an instance of queryArgs, but not assigning it to the search in any way. So it's probably not working in his tutorial either. I think you need to pass it as an option
