default, a prefix search is performed (ie, all queries are automatically
appended with a wildcard).

| `--exclude-exit`   | Do not include commands that exited with this value (default: none)           |
| `--before`         | Only include commands ran before this time(default: none)                     |
| `--after`          | Only include commands ran after this time(default: none)                      |
| `--interactive/-i` | Open the interactive search UI (default: false)                               |
| `--human`          | Use human-readable formatting for the timestamp and duration (default: false) |
| `--limit`          | Limit the number of results (default: none)                                   |
| `--offset`         | Offset from the start of the results (default: none)                          |
| `--delete`         | Delete history matching this query                                            |

atuin search -i

# Open the interactive search TUI preloaded with a query
atuin search -i atuin

# Search for all commands, beginning with cargo, that exited successfully
atuin search --exit 0 cargo

# Search for all commands, that failed, from the current dir, and were ran before April 1st 2021
atuin search --exclude-exit 0 --before 01/04/2021 --cwd .

# Search for all commands, beginning with cargo, that exited successfully, and were ran after yesterday at 3pm
atuin search --exit 0 --after "yesterday 3pm" cargo

# Delete all commands, beginning with cargo, that exited successfully, and were ran after yesterday at 3pm
atuin search --delete --exit 0 --after "yesterday 3pm" cargo

# Search for a command beginning with cargo, return exactly one result.
atuin search --limit 1 cargo

# Search for a single result for a command beginning with cargo, skipping (offsetting) one result
atuin search --offset 1 --limit cargo
