+\r
+Currently any unrecognized field:value will be searched for as a phrase\r
+[1], and is equivalent to "field value", field.value, field-value, among\r
+others.  So as long as notmuch: is not a recognized prefix, your scheme\r
+will not block any searches.  \r
+\r
+It doesn't seem especially likely that we'll want to use "notmuch:" as a\r
+prefix; of course if you were to choose something with "mutt" in the\r
+name that would be more nearly a sure thing.\r
