+Hello all,\r
+This may well be due to my novice use of search syntax, but I'm having\r
+issues find needle in haystack within the subject of an email thread.\r
+This simple example highlights the problem I'm having:\r
+\r
+When using notmuch search subject:foo for threads with the following\r
+subjects...\r
+\r
+item: foo\r
+an item: foo\r
+an item: XYfoo1234\r
+an item: XYfoo bar\r
+\r
+... only the first two are found.\r
+\r
+Also:\r
+* notmuch searching for subject:"item: f" gives zero results.\r
+\r
+* notmuch searching for subject:"(*foo*)" results in the first two threads\r
+being found and also a thread with the word footprint in the middle of the\r
+subject being found (subject is "memory footprint without feature").\r
+\r
+* notmuch searching for subject:"an item: XYfoo1234" results in the third\r
+being found.\r
+\r
+Why doesn't notmuch search subject:foo find all four threads, and why\r
+doesn't notmuch search subject:"item: f" find anything at all?\r
+\r
+This was spurred on by me having a thread with the following as the subject..\r
+\r
+Release Update: BT52_ETW_MD4.5.4alpha1_take1\r
+\r
+..and notmuch search subject:4.5.4 finding nothing.\r
+\r
+Something doesn't seem right here. man notmuch-search-terms doesn't seem\r
+to explain this as far as I can see.\r
+FWIW I'm using notmuch from git, master @ 294bb6d.\r
+Any thoughts / tips?\r
+Thanks,\r
+--  Matt\r
