I notice that Xapian supports something called "phrase searches", documented as: "A phrase surrounded with double quotes ("") matches documents containing that exact phrase. Hyphenated words are also treated as phrases, as are cases such as filenames and email addresses (e.g. /etc/passwd or president@whitehouse.gov)." I assume that this particular Xapian feature is unavailable in notmuch? If so, I wonder if enabling has ever been considered? Being able to "drop down" to do things like exact phrase matches is one reason why I use notmuch, because the precision sometimes matters. I currently do this by fetching the mail message itself and using old-school mail processing tools on the message file. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
