It is this facility that I especially find intriguing if I can make it do

Notmuch itself lives outside mutt. You set it up with "notmuch setup"
and keep it up to date with the "notmuch new" command. (See "man
notmuch-setup" and "man notmuch-new".)
I have gathered this much so far. I will probably go ahead and install it
and notmuch-mutt and see what I can easily make it do. Apparently NeoMutt
has integrated notmuch-mutt into their distribution. Out of curiosity, do
the Mutt developers have any inclinations in this direction?
I've a script for performing a notmuch search and building a result
Maildir containing the search results, and popping up that Maildir in
mutt:
https://hg.sr.ht/~cameron-simpson/css/browse/bin/notmuch-search?tip
and I routinely invoke it via a stub script with a shorter name which
includes the -t option (includes threads containing the matching
messages).
Will look at this soon, but I wonder if you have independently have
developed similar functionality to what notmuch-mutt is supposed to supply?
Can someone clarify what I can and cannot do with notmuch from *within*
Mutt? Provide more informative online articles then perhaps I have found?
You could easily write a mutt macro to invoke such a search from within
mutt itself. I haven't myself. I just issue a search from the command
line via my script.
Are you thinking of something like this on the ArchLinux Wiki:
