+Good point, I tried that, didn't change the numbers much.  The number of\r

+Exactly, that's what I do not understand.\r
+\r

+\r
+Good suggestion.  I tried it, and gives me very consistent numbers:\r
+\r
+$ notmuch count -- no ADJ plain ADJ text\r
+20\r
+$ notmuch show -- $(notmuch search --output=messages -- no NEAR \"plain\ text\") | \\r
+      grep -c -iE 'plain[[:space:]/]+text'\r
+24\r
+\r
+Of course this does not help me solve my original goal, but I guess now\r
+I can try different queries based on your idea.\r
+\r
+Thanks a lot!\r
