notmuch search
: It is the command to search the Notmuch database.--format=${select}
: It specifies the format of the output. The value of${select}
should be a format specification used to determine what parts of the matched email messages are displayed.--output=${select1}
: It determines the specific output format to be used for the search results. The value of${select1}
should be another format specification.--limit=${X}
: It sets a limit on the number of search results displayed. The value of${X}
determines the maximum number of search results to be shown."${search_term}"
: It is the search term or query to find email messages matching specific criteria. The value of${search_term}
should be replaced with the desired search term.
To use this command effectively, you need to replace ${select}
and ${select1}
with appropriate format codes and ${X}
with the desired number of search results to be shown. Also, replace ${search_term}
with the specific criteria you want to search for in the email messages.
