From e5da2b701fc172d2255f205414f18c40f4343fbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Perez Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:07:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Allow lone "not" search operators As suggested by Keith in FLAG_PURE_NOT allows for expressions like: notmuch search NOT tag:inbox Note that this way a search like: notmuch search foobar NOT tag:inbox should not be written instead: notmuch search foobar AND NOT tag:inbox In my opinion, the latter feels more natural and is somewhat more explicit. It gives a better clue of what the search is about instead of assuming that an implicit AND operator is there. --- lib/query.cc | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/query.cc b/lib/query.cc index a869f3e6..75f22b30 100644 --- a/lib/query.cc +++ b/lib/query.cc @@ -97,7 +97,8 @@ notmuch_query_search_messages (notmuch_query_t *query, Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_PHRASE | Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_LOVEHATE | Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_BOOLEAN_ANY_CASE | - Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_WILDCARD); + Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_WILDCARD | + Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_PURE_NOT); if (strcmp (query_string, "") == 0) { final_query = mail_query; -- 2.43.0
