From both the implementation and from the documentation. This is handled generically in the library for all search-based commands, so count doesn't need special treatment.

Have notmuch count default to showing the total.

Add 'notmuch count' command to show the count of matching messages

2009-11-23T05:33:54Z

Getting the count of matching threads or messages is a fairly expensive operation. Xapian provides a very efficient mechanism that returns an approximate value, so use that for this new command. This returns the number of matching messages, not threads, as that is cheap to compute. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
