The man page could use some clarification.
The <initial-timestamp>..<final-timestamp> syntax predates the date:
prefix, and needs to be given as-is:
$ notmuch search 1517152333..1517238733
Alternatively, you can use @<timestamp> in date: queries, although this
seems to be completely undocumented:
$ notmuch search date:@1517152333..@1517238733
HTH,
Jani.
