I would not like this feature. If I search for something I really want
to see everything. For example, if I want to remove inbox from many
messages, I would search for them and press "-inbox<ret>". With your
patch I'd not be sure whether there are some more messages or not.

You can start filtering while the previous search is still running, so I
do not see problem with having bug number of results.

If you really want this behavior, I propose to make the default value
of notmuch-max-results infinity.
