Any implementation of mu into mutt I have found or could think of
requires a two step process. One that does the actual search and

Now, I would like to do this more smoothly: only give one command (one
shortcut), provide the search string and have the results returned
immediately. Does anyone know if this is possible - other than hacking
the code of mutt?

My approach to this is twofold.
I used to use mairix and now use notmuch.
I just have a shell script that does a notmuch search and then brings up mutt
on the resulting mail folder, and tidies up afterwards. Very easy.
Then for "integration", just write a mutt macro that invokes an incomplete
shell command, which just needs the search terms appended and for you to press
[Enter].
In my case, the wrapper script is "notmuch-search":
https://bitbucket.org/cameron_simpson/css/src/tip/bin/notmuch-search
for which I have convenience shell alias "++" mapped to "notmuch-search -S".
Based on that, I also have a mutt alias bound to "++" to do the same thing:
macro index,pager ++ '!notmuch-search -S '
(The -S means run up the results in a screen session.)
I'd think you could adapt this approach to your own mail indexer.
