"""Estimate the number of messages matching the query
This function performs a search and returns Xapian's best
- guess as to the number of matching messages. It is somewhat
- faster than performing :meth:`search_messages` and counting
- the result with `len()`. Technically, it wraps the underlying
+ guess as to the number of matching messages. It is much faster
+ than performing :meth:`search_messages` and counting the
+ result with `len()` (although it always returned the same
+ result in my tests). Technically, it wraps the underlying
*notmuch_query_count_messages* function.
