In Emacs you can search with "u" command in the *notmuch-hello* buffer.
It returns only the matched messages. There is also "z" command which
returns a tree but shows which messages matched the search pattern.

In command line interpreter and "notmuch-search" command you can use the
"--output" option:

    --output=(summary|threads|messages|files|tags)
