Yes this is very good. Actually what I do now is

s tag:unread date:-2d..

which gives me almost what I want. Only downside is, completely unread
threads don't show up in the search view. Sometimes I want to go back
and read a read thread. But this can be solved by using flagged (or some
other tag). So now I have:

s ((tag:unread date:-2d..) or tag:flagged)

which works pretty well.

Thanks!
