Well, actually the default search pattern for notmuch is just "inbox".

But it's really about *all* the tags I have on the messages. I would
like all of my tags to stand out from the subject line, (and I don't
want to keep adjusting notmuch-tag-face-alist every time I add a new
tag).

I'd prefer instead to just be able to choose a color that would
highlight everyhing between the final set of parentheses in the search
results.

OK. I'll experiment and look for a reasonable color for a white
background.
