Description
I recently switched to khal on my Debian Stable computer (running khal 0.10.3) and I have to say that I really love it! Finally a tool that makes use of ics-files I can sync with vdirsyncer!
There is only one thing which bugs me: how can I search (non-interactively) for multiple keywords? I'd love a functionality like khal search [term1 AND term2] or khal search [term1 OR term2]. I didn't find anything in the documentation and from trying around I also wasn't able to get this to work. Is this even possible today? Of course I can help myself with khal search term1 | grep term2 but this is not the most elegant solution...
I'm aware that this partially overlaps with this and this but never the less I thought I'd mention it here as well.
