+\r
+Sorry, I meant for 'N' and 'P' to move between messages in a thread.\r
+\r
+But it would make sense to also have commands to navigate to the next\r

+\r
+I don't want to let a current bug shape the interface we want. But, yes,\r
+that's a current reality.\r

+\r
+Yes, but that's already the case with '*'. The Xapian work involved\r
+should be the same whether calling "notmuch tag" once with the whole\r
+search string, or several times, (once for each thread).\r
