Package: elpa-notmuch
Version: 0.28.3-1
Severity: minor

From within *notmuch-search-tag:Red label* I expected one of +"Red
label", +'Red label', +"Red\ label", and +'Red\ label', plus
variations with the '+' inside quotes would work, but it doesn't seem
to.

notmuch tag +"Bogus Test Tag" tag:"Red Label" works 100% fine.

The issue seems to be that the regex and form of
notmuch-tag.el:L466-67 is too strict.

I would imagine that this primarily affects users who are using or
migrating away from GMail, who often spaces in their GMail label names.
