+\r
+I think having two divergent documents covering the same thing is less\r
+than ideal, but perhaps they could be merged in the near future.\r
+\r
+A few comments:\r
+\r
+The section on "Languages other than English" isn't quite correct.\r
+Xapian has no idea what language is being used, so it will still stem\r
+terms in other languages, but using English stemming rules.\r
+\r
+Notmuch doesn't use synonyms.\r
+\r
+It might be worth pointing out that "+term1" and "term1" are\r
+equivalent.\r
+\r
+"notmuch search -term2" doesn't actually work. I've never looked in\r
+to why, but I've found that Xapian ignores '-' at the beginning of a\r
+query or a parenthesized expression. "notmuch search term1 -term2"\r
+will work.\r
+\r
+In the brackets section, you'll need shell escaping for those queries\r
+to work. It might be worth pointing out the need for shell escaping\r
+at the beginning.\r
+\r
+XOR, NEAR, and ADJ were intentionally undocumented in\r
+notmuch-search-terms because they may go away some day and we don't\r
+want people thinking they can depend on them.\r
