+\r
+There are two technical limitations at play here, imposed on us by\r
+Xapian. First, Xapian provides us with no way to support the date:\r
+prefix *without* the range operator "..", and worse, AFAICT there's no\r
+way to flag this as an error either. Second, Xapian does not support\r
+spaces in range expression (at least not the last time I checked from\r
+the source) regardless of the amount of quoting or escaping.\r
+\r
+These limitations are documented in the DATE AND TIME SEARCH section of\r
+the notmuch-search-terms(7) man page, and that's unfortunately about as\r
+much as we can do about it at the moment.\r
+\r
+The workaround is to always have .. in the date: search, and replace\r
+spaces with e.g. '-' or '_'. See the man page for details. The search\r
+you are looking for is either date:this-week..this-week or just\r
+date:this-week..\r
+\r
+HTH,\r
+Jani.\r
