That does seem fairly awkward, yes. Do you have a suggestion for how
you'd like the output to be structured instead?

Yikes! That's a bug in notmuch that we should get fixed rather than you
just working around it. I just started adding a test for this
case. Currently:
notmuch search --format=json "string that matches nothing"
returns nothing. Presumably, this should return just an empty json array
instead, (that is, "[]")?
