Great, that's how it is supposed to be used! :)

This is because org-mode links must be url encoded (this is a org-mode
limitation, could do nothing about it). So in links that contain spaces,
such as yours, spaces must be replaced by %20, like this:

[[notmuch-search:toto%20and%20tata][Notmuch search: toto and tata]]

If I remember correctly, I specifically forbid myself to look into this
code because David had copyright issues with its employer. But I believe
that both codes are doing essentially the same thing.
