Oh right, notmuch actually does that for things like tags. So the problem you are trying to solve is not getting enough matches with a word search? Can you give me an example of the kind of search you are trying to do? I had the impression that usually notmuch users want to use regexes to match things like punctuation that is discarded by term search. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org
