Quoting notmuch-search-terms(7)

       The  exact  syntax for maildir folders depends on your mail configur=
a=E2=80=90
       tion. For maildir++, folder:"" matches the inbox folder (which is  t=
he
       root  in  maildir++),  other  folder  names always start with ".", a=
nd
       nested folders are separated by "."s, such  as  folder:.classes.topo=
l=E2=80=90
       ogy.  For  "file  system" maildir, the inbox is typically folder:INB=
OX
       and   nested   folders   are   separated   by   slashes,    such    =
as
       folder:classes/topology.

Hopefully the above is enough to help you formulate the right query.
You probably also want the options --format=3Dtext0 and --output=3Dfiles for
notmuch search.
