How do I search for events that do not have another specific event occurring within a certain time?

I want to search for events that do not have a specific other event occurring within a certain time.

For example, I want to find all instances of EventCode=1 where there is no EventCode=2 within 5 minutes.

If you would like a specific answer you'll need to provide your SPL and examples of your events but in theory you could do that using a subsearch.

sourcetype=some_sourcetype NOT [search sourcetype=another_sourcetype | fields field_val]
