These can contain double quote characters by + escaping with backslash. E.g. ``"this is a quote \""``. + +S-EXPRESSION QUERIES +-------------------- + +An s-expression query is either an atom, the empty list, or a +*compound query* consisting of a prefix atom (first element) defining +a *field*, *logical operation*, or *modifier*, and 0 or more +subqueries. + +``*`` + "*" matches any non-empty string in the current field. + +``()`` + The empty list matches all messages + +*term* + + Match all messages containing *term*, possibly after stemming or + phrase splitting. For discussion of stemming in notmuch see + :any:`notmuch-search-terms(7)`. Stemming only applies to unquoted + terms (basic values) in s-expression queries. For information on + phrase splitting see :any:`fields`. + +``(`` *field* |q1| |q2| ... |qn| ``)`` + Restrict the queries |q1| to |qn| to *field*, and combine with *and* + (for most fields) or *or*. See :any:`fields` for more information. + +``(`` *operator* |q1| |q2| ... |qn| ``)`` + Combine queries |q1| to |qn|. Currently supported operators are + ``and``, ``or``, and ``not``. ``(not`` |q1| ... |qn| ``)`` is equivalent + to ``(and (not`` |q1| ``) ... (not`` |qn| ``))``. + +``(`` *modifier* |q1| |q2| ... |qn| ``)`` + Combine queries |q1| to |qn|, and reinterpret the result (e.g. as a regular expression). + See :any:`modifiers` for more information. + +``(macro (`` |p1| ... |pn| ``) body)`` + Define saved query with parameter substitution. The syntax is + recognized only in saved s-expression queries (see ``squery.*`` in + :any:`notmuch-config(1)`). Parameter names in ``body`` must be + prefixed with ``,`` to be expanded (see :any:`macro_examples`). + Macros may refer to other macros, but only to their own + parameters [#macro-details]_. + +.. _fields: + +FIELDS +`````` + +*Fields* [#aka-pref]_ +correspond to attributes of mail messages. Some are inherent (and +immutable) like ``subject``, while others ``tag`` and ``property`` are +settable by the user. Each concrete field in +:any:`the table below <field-table>` +is discussed further under "Search prefixes" in +:any:`notmuch-search-terms(7)`. The row *user* refers to user defined +fields, described in :any:`notmuch-config(1)`. + +Most fields are either *phrase fields* [#aka-prob]_ (which match +sequences of words), or *term fields* [#aka-bool]_ (which match exact +strings). *Phrase splitting* breaks the term (basic value or quoted +string) into words, ignore punctuation. Phrase splitting is applied to +terms in phrase (probabilistic) fields. Both phrase splitting and +stemming apply only in phrase fields. + +Each term or phrase field has an associated combining operator +(``and`` or ``or``) used to combine the queries from each element of +the tail of the list. This is generally ``or`` for those fields where +a message has one such attribute, and ``and`` otherwise. + +Term or phrase fields can contain arbitrarily complex queries made up +from terms, operators, and modifiers, but not other fields. + +.. _field-table: + +.. table:: Fields with supported modifiers + + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | field | combine | type | expand | wildcard | regex | + +============+===========+===========+===========+===========+==========+ + | *none* | and | | no | yes | no | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | *user* | and | phrase | no | yes | no | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | attachment | and | phrase | yes | yes | no | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | body | and | phrase | no | no | no | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | date | | range | no | no | no | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | folder | or | phrase | yes | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | from | and | phrase | yes | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | id | or | term | no | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | is | and | term | yes | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | lastmod | | range | no | no | no | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | mid | or | term | no | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | mimetype | or | phrase | yes | yes | no | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | path | or | term | no | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | property | and | term | yes | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | subject | and | phrase | yes | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | tag | and | term | yes | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | thread | or | term | yes | yes | yes | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + | to | and | phrase | yes | yes | no | + +------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------+ + +.. _modifiers: + +MODIFIERS +````````` + +*Modifiers* refer to any prefixes (first elements of compound queries) +that are neither operators nor fields. + +``(infix`` *atom* ``)`` + Interpret *atom* as an infix notmuch query (see + :any:`notmuch-search-terms(7)`).
