notmuch doesn't currently implement this, though it is an
oft-requested feature. One (not insurmountable) difficulty is that
the database would have to be rebuilt if a user-configured list of
headers changed and there are technical limitations that prevent us
from simply indexing all headers. Out of curiosity, what headers are
you interested in indexing?
The currently indexed headers are described in man
notmuch-search-terms.
