t@<DATESTRING> matches notes created at a given date/time

t+<DATESTRING> matches notes created after a given date/time

DATE STRING:
<DATESTRING> can be made of any typical date format such as:
dd/mm/yy
dd, mm, yyyy hh:mm

EDITING:
By default nodau will use the EDITOR environment variable to edit notes, simply
edit the file as usual, nodau will save the note to it's database when you exit the
editor. If EDITOR is not set the nodau builtin editor will be used.
Use of the builtin editor can be forced by setting `force_builtin_editor = true' in
the nodau config file. Alternatively, the external_editor config setting can be
set to use a specific editor regardless of the EDITOR environment variable value.
`force_builtin_editor = true' takes precedence over EDITOR and external_editor
settings.
The builtin editor accepts standard printable characters, enter, and backspace.
There is no support for moving the cursor with the arrow keys or mouse. To exit the
editor and save the note, create a new line with only a dot (.) on it, or press
escape.

ENCRYPTION:
Encrypting a note will apply DES encryption to the note using a passphrase which is
requested from the user during the process. The passphrase is then required to
decrypt, edit, or read the note. Decrypting a note will restore the note as plain
text, and the passphrase will no longer be required for access.

CONFIGURATION FILE:
The nodau config file is located at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nodau/nodau.conf which is
typically ~/.config/nodau/nodau.conf.

The following config settings are currently in use:

SETTING VALUES DEFAULT
external_editor name of a text editor executable (vim, nano,etc).
force_builtin_editor true or false false
import_old_db true or false true
edit_autocreate true of false true

If import_old_db value is true or not set, nodau will import notes from the 0.2.x
database to the 0.3.x database.
