I just remembered (and olly confirmed) that there is some work in progress on adding file sizes to the xapian query parser. Finishing that would benefit more people, and allow the feature you want in notmuch with less code in notmuch. Maybe you could have a look and see if it's practical to finish this off (or consult with the original student who seems to have abandonded it, but maybe not). https://github.com/xapian/xapian/pull/135
