Hi,

How exactly does the search function work when it comes to things like searching in the from or subject field? See the below queries and (lack of) results:

paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:dem
paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:demi
paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:demiu
paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:demiur
paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:demiurg
thread:0000000000012d53   January 18 [1/5] Demiurg HG| Paul Melis, XXXXX
thread:0000000000011b82  November 14 [3/6] Demiurg HG| Paul Melis; XXXXX

Only the last queries returns the mails I was looking for, while prefixes of the query don't return anything. Even stranger is that the actual from e-mail address is demiurghg@...., so why does "from:demiurg" match (which is also a prefix of the mail address), but all the other don't match?

Thanks for a great tool, btw!

Regards,
Paul
