notmuch/doc/man7, branch 0.23.6

add property: query prefix to search for specific properties

2016-09-21T21:14:25Z

We want to be able to query the properties directly, like: notmuch count property:foo=bar which should return a count of messages where the property with key "foo" has value equal to "bar".

doc: clean up boolean vs. probabilistic prefixes

2016-06-07T11:00:40Z

sphinx-build emits a minor warning: [...]doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst:223: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent. And the tabular representation of boolean or probabilistic prefixes currently renders like this when i view it in man: ┌───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┐ │Boolean │ Probabilistic │ └───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘ │ tag: id: │ from: to: │ │ │ │ │ thread: folder: │ subject: attach‐ │ │ path: │ ment: mimetype: │ └───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘ This isn't just ugly: it's confusing, because it seems to imply that some of the prefixes in the left-hand column are somehow related to specific other prefixes in the right-hand column. The Definition List representation introduced by this patch should be simpler for readers to understand, and doesn't have the warning.

lib: add support for named queries

2016-05-25T10:40:44Z

This relies on the optional presense of xapian field processors, and the library config API.

lib: optionally support single argument date: queries

2016-05-08T11:17:07Z

This relies on the FieldProcessor API, which is only present in xapian >= 1.3.

man: clarify the parameters for lastmod: range query

2015-10-21T12:13:33Z

and for the lastmod: prefix right below the date: prefix description give the impression one could use last modified dates to lastmod: which is not at all the case. Use .. instead.

lib: add support for date:..! to mean date:..

2015-09-26T00:55:24Z

It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date: expanding to date:.. any time soon. (This can be done with a future version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean time, provide shorthand date:..! to mean the same. This is useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of yesterday to end of yesterday. Idea from Mark Walters .

lib: Add "lastmod:" queries for filtering by last modification

2015-08-14T16:23:49Z

The implementation is essentially the same as the date range search prior to Jani's fancy date parser.

doc: update list of prefixes

2015-02-24T07:29:01Z

'attachement' missed a colon, and 'mimetype' was not added to this table at all.

doc: typo fix for prefix discussion.
