The problem is that if I search for a word, lets say grandfather using 's' from the notmuch buffer a list of messages is returned correctly that contain the word.

If however the word 'grandfather' appears in a citation then an incremental search through the buffer won't find it. If the citation is expanded then things work as expected. I don't think this is very logical behavior as it stands, having to expand each citation to be able to search in it appears to sort of defeat the search. Ideally I would like to be able to search forward and if the word was in a citation to have it automagicaly expand for me. Alternatively Just having point land on the citation would be enough to let me know there was something inside I may want to read. What do others think?

Hi all,

I am having a little bit of trouble with = notmuch.el, I’m not sure if I’m just not understanding how it works or if there is = an actual issue.

The problem is that if I search for a word, lets = say grandfather using ‘s’ from the notmuch buffer a list of = messages is returned correctly that contain the word.

Next I hit enter on the thread I want to = read.

Then I use ‘c-s’ to search forward = through the buffer for the word ‘grandfather’.

Provided that the word is in a non citation part of = the buffer all works as expected.

If however the word ‘grandfather’ = appears in a citation then an incremental search through the buffer won’t find = it.

If the citation is expanded then things work as = expected.

I don’t think this is very logical behavior = as it stands, having to expand each citation to be able to search in it = appears to sort of defeat the search.

Ideally I would like to be able to search forward = and if the word was in a citation to have it automagicaly expand for me. =

Alternatively Just having point land on the = citation would be enough to let me know there was something inside I may want to = read.

What do others think?

Regards

Bart
