From 319dd95ebbd841320e269d34e67a824876f8426a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2019 21:39:21 -0300 Subject: lib: add 'body:' field, stop indexing headers twice. The new `body:` field (in Xapian terms) or prefix (in slightly sloppier notmuch) terms allows matching terms that occur only in the body. Unprefixed query terms should continue to match anywhere (header or body) in the message. This follows a suggestion of Olly Betts to use the facility (since Xapian 1.0.4) to add the same field with multiple prefixes. The double indexing of previous versions is thus replaced with a query time expension of unprefixed query terms to the various prefixed equivalent. Reindexing will be needed for 'body:' searches to work correctly; otherwise they will also match messages where the term occur in headers (demonstrated by the new tests in T530-upgrade.sh) --- doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst b/doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst index f7a39ceb..fd8bf634 100644 --- a/doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst +++ b/doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst @@ -44,6 +44,9 @@ results to those whose value matches a regular expression (see notmuch search 'from:"/bob@.*[.]example[.]com/"' +body: + Match terms in the body of messages. + from: or from:// The **from:** prefix is used to match the name or address of the sender of an email message. @@ -249,7 +252,7 @@ follows.
