Tag exclusion
- Tags can be automatically excluded from search results unless they
- appear explicitly in a query. By default, notmuch excludes the tags
- deleted and spam. This can be changed using the new config setting
- search.auto_exclude_tags.
+ Tags can be automatically excluded from search results by adding them
+ to the new 'search.exclude_tags' option in the Notmuch config file.
+
+ This behaviour can be overridden by explicitly including an excluded
+ tag in your query, for example:
+
+ notmuch search $your_query and tag:$excluded_tag
+
+ Existing users will probably want to run "notmuch setup" again to add
+ the new well-commented [search] section to the configuration file.
+
+ For new configurations, accepting the default setting will cause the
+ tags "deleted" and "spam" to be excluded, equivalent to running:
+
+ notmuch config set search.exclude_tags deleted spam
