Shell History Search

When the user wants to find something from their shell history, use atuin with timestamps and grep for filtering.

Standard invocation

atuin search --after "<N> days ago" --format "{time} {command}"

Default <N> is 1.

If the user specifies a day count, use that number instead. Examples that set the day count:

• "search last 2 days of shell history"
• "check 3 days of history"
• "last two days"

This returns all shell commands from the past N days, each prefixed with a timestamp.
