+fwiw, cc: is not a valid search prefix, but I don't think that's\r

+\r
+I tried a couple of tests here, and I could not duplicate your problem\r
+with notmuch 0.20.2. For me, only messages with the tag show up.\r
+\r
+You might want to try the following to debug:\r
+\r
+- compare "notmuch count tag:xyz" with the number of messages recognized\r
+  by e.g. mutt in the mbox.\r
+\r
+- if those two are the same, find one of the message you think should\r
+  not have the tag, and look at it by message-id.\r
+\r
+- if the two are not the same, find a message in the mbox that you think\r
+  should not be there, and double check the tags and headers.\r
+  Note that\r
+\r
+       The to: prefix is used to match the names or addresses of any\r
+       recipient of an email message, (whether To, Cc, or Bcc).\r
+\r
+  to quote notmuch-search-terms(7). One possibility is the existence\r
+  of Bcc headers in some of your messages.\r
