Display a maximum of 150 results when searching for messages. This prevents client lag when searches return thousands of results you'll never look at (use the Filter command to cut down results that exceed 150).
Number of results can be changed by setting notmuch-max-results. This patch depends on notmuch supporting the --last-index option, a patch for which I emailed to the list earlier this evening. --- emacs/notmuch.el | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch.el b/emacs/notmuch.el index 2f36bbd..b928680 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch.el @@ -1944,6 +1944,7 @@ characters as well as `_.+-'.
