And for "destructiveness" see the implementation in lib/query.cc _notmuch_exclude_tags: It replaces every matching tag in query_string and exclude_tags with an empty string "" in the exclude terms. This most likely results in <match_all_documents> which can be seen as a bug, if you want; removing would be better but also more expensive. For a quick test run your test program with different queries/exclude_tags with NOTMUCH_DEBUG_QUERY (man notmuch) set to a non-empty value and look what happens ;) _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list [email protected] https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
