Carl Worth	13a7b6700e	notmuch count: Remove special handling of "*". ... From both the implementation and from the documentation. This is handled generically in the library for all search-based commands, so count doesn't need special treatment.	2010-04-09 17:44:01 -07:00
Mike Kelly	b15a03fafc	Have notmuch count default to showing the total. ... If no parameters are given to notmuch-count, or just '' or '*' are given, return the total number of messages in the database. update notmuch count help	2010-04-09 16:28:49 -07:00
Keith Packard	53f8cc5651	Add 'notmuch count' command to show the count of matching messages ... Getting the count of matching threads or messages is a fairly expensive operation. Xapian provides a very efficient mechanism that returns an approximate value, so use that for this new command. This returns the number of matching messages, not threads, as that is cheap to compute.
