Kibana KQL - finding all log statements when parameter value is greater than 2

I'm writing a KQL to build Kibana Visualize. I've build a query to find my expected result but it's not perfect.

Points to be noted -

1. Data is logger messages, not json
2. I searched a lot but most of answers and stackoverflow suggestions were for json data
3. My queries are on "message" field

Expected Result - All log messages which have noOfFlexJobs>2

Here is my Query-1 -

message:"thread=getEmployeeNumbersForFlexJob-2b80ac18-d97c-4af0-a14b-53b14f1bbc32" and message:"noOfFlexJobs="  

Query-1 Result -

To get desired result I have updated my query- Query-2

message:"thread=getEmployeeNumbersForFlexJob-2b80ac18-d97c-4af0-a14b-53b14f1bbc32" and (message:"noOfFlexJobs=3" or message:"noOfFlexJobs=4" or message:"noOfFlexJobs=5")  

Query-2 Result

Time    message  Jan 28, 2021 @ 09:20:14.443 2021-01-28T09:20:14.443-0600 level=INFO, thread=getEmployeeNumbersForFlexJob-2b80ac18-d97c-4af0-a14b-53b14f1bbc32, cat=EmployeeJobsScript, [] msg=Employee jobs data for scriptName=getEmployeeNumbersForFlexJob scriptStatus=RUNNING executionId=2b80ac18-d97c-4af0-a14b-53b14f1bbc32 EmployeeNumber=A1278828, noOfJobPrefs=0, noOfFlexJobs=3  Jan 28, 2021 @ 09:20:14.418 2021-01-28T09:20:14.418-0600 level=INFO, thread=getEmployeeNumbersForFlexJob-2b80ac18-d97c-4af0-a14b-53b14f1bbc32, cat=EmployeeJobsScript, [] msg=Employee jobs data for scriptName=getEmployeeNumbersForFlexJob scriptStatus=RUNNING executionId=2b80ac18-d97c-4af0-a14b-53b14f1bbc32 EmployeeNumber=A1472766, noOfJobPrefs=0, noOfFlexJobs=4  Jan 28, 2021 @ 09:20:14.391 2021-01-28T09:20:14.391-0600 level=INFO, thread=getEmployeeNumbersForFlexJob-2b80ac18-d97c-4af0-a14b-53b14f1bbc32, cat=EmployeeJobsScript, [] msg=Employee jobs data for scriptName=getEmployeeNumbersForFlexJob scriptStatus=RUNNING executionId=2b80ac18-d97c-4af0-a14b-53b14f1bbc32 EmployeeNumber=A1478985, noOfJobPrefs=0, noOfFlexJobs=5  

I understand why I'm getting only 3 rows, If I'll add remaining query parameters for 6,7,....etc I'll get my desired output. But I'm not sure what will be the max value for noOfFlexJobs

I tried message:"noOfFlexJobs=">2 but it didn't work.

Is it possible to query on message statements? Is there a way to find all statements which has noOfFlexJobs>2?

Thanks! in advance.
