+I'm not sure if there are really bad paths in the database, or notmuch\r
+is just handling illegal search syntax badly. To quote\r
+notmuch-search-terms(7):\r
+\r
+   The directory must be specified relative to the top-level maildir\r
+   (and without the leading slash).\r
+\r
+Please try with correct search syntax in order to narrow down the\r
+problem.\r
