SYNOPSIS
========

**notmuch** **reindex** [*option* ...] <*search-term*> ...

DESCRIPTION
===========

Re-index all messages matching the search terms.

See **notmuch-search-terms(7)** for details of the supported syntax for
<*search-term*\ >.

The **reindex** command searches for all messages matching the
supplied search terms, and re-creates the full-text index on these
messages using the supplied options.

Supported options for **reindex** include

    ``--try-decrypt=(true|auto|false)``

        If ``true``, when encountering an encrypted message, try to
        decrypt it while reindexing.  If ``auto``, and notmuch already
        knows about a session key for the message, it will try
        decrypting using that session key but will not try to access
        the user's secret keys.  If decryption is successful, index
        the cleartext itself.

        Be aware that the index is likely sufficient to reconstruct
        the cleartext of the message itself, so please ensure that the
        notmuch message index is adequately protected. DO NOT USE
        ``--try-decrypt=true`` without considering the security of
        your index.

        See also ``index.try_decrypt`` in **notmuch-config(1)**.
