Hey, Daniel. I actually just ran into a little bug with this patch. After applying this patch, if I try to scroll/search through my mini-buffer history after a search I get the following error: previous-history-element: Wrong type argument: symbolp, "tag:signed" I get this error no matter what my search terms were. Unfortunately I've always found these error messages confusing, so I'm not quite sure where it's coming from.

Are there any more suggestions or criticisms about this? Hey, Daniel. This is a really great patch. I've been looking for this functionality for a while. Thanks for implementing it. Following this email I am sending a slightly-tweaked and signed-off version of this patch that includes a couple of minor tweaks (diff below). The first tweak removes an errant white space, and the other modifies the tag-retrieval command to use the "search --output=tags" command instead of the "search-tags" command which was recently deprecated. jamie. diff --git a/emacs/notmuch.el b/emacs/notmuch.el index e9b0ef8..053f0be 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch.el @@ -882,12 +882,12 @@ characters as well as `_.+-'.

Both alternatives seem about equally ugly to me, since the one using dynamic scoping still uses side-effects, because it still passes the completion information around without using it as an argument to notmuch-query-completions.

I agree that that's really ugly. Rather, something like (defun notmuch-query-completions (string) ... as you have it now ...)

Sounds reasonable, I guess I really should stop fighting all those ugly parts of elisp with unreadable constructs like that. I made it a global variable though to avoid compilation warnings about notmuch-completion being a free variable.

Yes, that was the reason. Another thing that bugs me, is that I did not find a better way of doing the completion: Ideally I'd like to just specify a list of completions for individual words and have emacs handle separating the input string into individual words, but I couldn't find any options to accomplish that.
