+notmuch doesn't currently implement this, though it is an\r
+oft-requested feature. One (not insurmountable) difficulty is that\r
+the database would have to be rebuilt if a user-configured list of\r
+headers changed and there are technical limitations that prevent us\r
+from simply indexing all headers. Out of curiosity, what headers are\r
+you interested in indexing?\r
+\r
+The currently indexed headers are described in man\r
+notmuch-search-terms.\r
