Hi Philippe - Out of the box you have the date search syntax described in 'man notmuch-search-terms', i.e. specifying a date range in terms of timestamps. Not very user friendly, but can be helped a little by using date(1) to produce the timestamps. See the man page. Quite some time ago I posted patches to add gnulib date search, but the gnulib semantics, while compatible with other GNU programs, are a bit awkward for the needs of notmuch. Plus it's plenty of code. See id:"cover.1312964528.git.jani@nikula.org" for the patches (they may not apply anymore though). Finally, I've been working on adding support for a decent date range search. It still needs some polish and tests, but seeing the demand, perhaps I should just post the patches and see what happens. BR, Jani.
