\r
78 I agree with you in that in many cases tags can be replaced by saved
\r
79 searches. Last time I did it, i.e. used saved searches to distinguish
\r
80 messages from different mailing lists, the result was that it took very
\r
81 long time (something like 5 seconds) to show notmuch-hello screen. There
\r
82 is a bug in notmuch hello, as I described in
\r
83 id:"87wrtz3pw2.fsf@steelpick.2x.cz".
\r
85 Additionally, I compared the speed of command line searches for tags and
\r
86 for the whole email addresses and even without the bug mentioned above,
\r
87 the search for to: is usually slower than the search for tag:.
\r
89 And finally, there are some mailing lists, which changed their address
\r
90 in the past or have multiple aliases and in this case you always has to
\r
91 use a more complex search to match all messages to that mailing list and
\r
92 these searches are even more slow than tag searches.
