You can use the `&x=t' parameter to give something similar to
the /$MSGID/T/ URLs which is the "flat" thread output:

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=tc:x86@kernel.org&x=t

The `#t' anchor brings you directly to the thread skeleton overview:

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=tc:x86@kernel.org&x=t#t

There's also an undocumented t=1 parameter which collapses
threads(*) and might reduce clutter from busy threads:

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=tc:x86@kernel.org&x=t&t=1#t

(*) t=1 was only intended for the mbox downloads, but ends up
    affecting HTML output

Having a dothread= parameter seems redundant with x=t; but
I agree x=t can display too much and the default summary
view not enough...

It's tricky to get the because search results can be ordered by
either relevance or date.  And also the relevance percentage
next to each message.

I wonder if lore can expose x86@kernel.org as its own inbox even
if it's technically not a subscribable mailing list.  That would
be much faster (but less space-efficient) than issuing a Xapian
query to get x86@kernel.org mails.
