To: notmuch
Batch file of my initial tagging script includes queries like below:
+john +friend -- tag:new AND from:john@example.tld
+john +friend -- tag:new AND to:john@example.tld
But I want to compress the above in one line like:
+john +friend -- tag:new AND from_or_to:john@example.tld
I know that I can achieve it approximately by querying without prefix,
but it'll also include the mails that include the string
"john@example.tld".
I look through the manual, man:notmuch-search-terms, but I couldn't find
the prefix I want.

How about
+john +friend -- tag:new AND (to:john@example.tld OR from:john@example.tld)
?

First did I tried that form, but I felt that wasn't up to snuff because
I still have to write the same address two times.

Currently I think that's the best you can do. You may be interested in
defining a predefined query
notmuch config query.fromtojohn "to:john@example.tld OR from:john@example.tld"
then you can use
+john +friend -- tag:new AND (to:john@example.tld OR from:john@example.tld) query:fromtojohn
Hypothetically it would be possible to extend the query: syntax to
support parameters, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra complexity.

that should be
+john +friend -- tag:new AND query:fromtojohn

Maybe you're right. I'll take the option, combinding `from' and `to'
headers to get the jobs done.
Thanks!
