+I had a quick look at this, and I think the issue is as follows:\r
+notmuch-search takes an extra parameter for the order, and does not\r
+directly look at notmuch-search-oldest-first.  notmuch-hello-search\r
+works better in this case because it calls notmuch-search with\r
+notmuch-search-oldest-first as one of it's parameters. The simplest\r
+solution would be to make another helper function like\r
+\r
+(defun notmuch-search-interactive ()\r
+  (interactive)\r
+  (notmuch-search nil notmuch-search-oldest-first))\r
+\r
+I don't know if notmuch-search should remain interactive, or perhaps be\r
+renamed and have interactive removed (with the new helper replacing it).\r
+I guess that might break some user code.\r
