Split query into two arguments using delimiter " " (space) - applescript

I am trying to work out how I am able to split the query entered on run in applescript into two separate variables able to be operated on.

Example:

{query} = bob jane

variable1 = bob

variable2 = jane

I was looking into doing this as a wordlist but have been unsuccessful as it separates the query by other symbols apart from " " [space].

I am sorry, I am not very good with applescript and am very confused as to how to go about doing this. Thankyou for any help.

set input to "bob jane"
set the text item delimiters to space
set {var1, var2} to {text item 1, text item 2} of the input

var1 will now be set to "bob", and var2 will be set to "jane".

Alternatively:

set input to "bob jane"
set {var1, var2} to the input's words
