Subject: [sup-talk] [PATCH] Natural language date searches
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 23:10:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1193436327-sup-5753@tomsk> (raw)

With the help of the fantastic Chronic gem, this patch adds date based
searches to sup with natural language. So you can do

after:(1 week ago)
after:(yesterday at 22:00)

and

before:(today at 5:00) 

and even combine them. For more examples see the Chronic docs at [1].
The brackets are important... watch the logs for oddities like:

after:(yesterday)

which probably wont do what you think as chronic sets a time of midday
on the converted date. Specify a time if you need to or use "24 hours
ago" or something.
