Hi,
I want to search
subject:[Release]
i.e. emails whose subject is like:
[Release] fix a bug
Notmuch seems to return those and many other emails. I tried to escape,
quote and nothing seems working.
Thanks.
Jian

by default xapian (and hence notmuch) uses a word based search that
essentially ignored punctation.
There is a patch to support (slower) regular expression search
id:20161114214651.19770-1-david@tethera.net

If you help test it, maybe it will be merged into notmuch.
