If so, why? Unfortunately there are likely to be inconsistencies between those fields supporting regex queries (like from) and "true" probabilistic prefixes. I think that these problems are tricky to fix because of the way notmuch extends the Xapian query parser, namely by reparsing a "boolean" term. The sexp query parser should not have these issues. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
