I have some contacts who go by several names (mostly people who use their native name in addition to sometimes using a name easier to pronounce for others; but also some secret agents). I often want to do something like "from:James" and where notmuch gives me back results with emails from "James", "Jimmy" and from "Jaime".
I have done searching and found some relevant threads: https://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2013/015571.html https://xapian.org/docs/synonyms.html https://getting-started-with-xapian.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howtos/synonyms.html However, they are very technical for me. It is not possible to just put something in .notmuch-config that specifies synonyms so that notmuch will build the Xapian database with those aliases? By the way, I don't know Xapian at all or how to call it manually. I have very simple .notmuch-config and I don't have any deep understanding or programming experience.
