Subject: Apparently, terms with a common prefix are *not* connected by implicit "OR"

Message-ID: <87lfvzipp5.fsf@disroot.org> (raw)
Hi. The NOTMUCH-SEARCH-TERMS man page says:
Each term in the query will be implicitly connected by a logical AND
if no explicit operator is provided (except that terms with a common
prefix will be implicitly combined with OR).
However, in practice I get different results:
$ notmuch count '(to:pontodosconcursos.com.br OR to:jorge+cp+concurso@disroot.org)'
66
$ notmuch count '(to:pontodosconcursos.com.br to:jorge+cp+concurso@disroot.org)'
0
I have other examples of this. I currently use notmuch 0.29.1 privately
backported to Debian buster according to the Debian Wiki [procedure][],
but I already got this problem in earlier notmuch releases, including
the official Debian buster package. What gives?
[procedure]: https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation
My workarund is to always explicit the "OR" operator, as in:
(to:concurso OR to:dominandoti OR to:cebraspe OR to:gleyson131 OR to:quadrix.org.br OR to:cathedranet.com.br OR from:cathedranet.com.br OR from:quadrix.org.br OR from:gleyson131 OR from:cebraspe OR from:dominandoti OR from:concurso OR is:lists/itaconcursos)
If the OR operator was indeed implicit, the query above would be
shorter.
Regards
