AERC-SEARCH(1)
# NAME
aerc-search - search and filter patterns and options for *aerc*(1)
# SYNTAX
This syntax is common to all backends.
*:filter* [*-ruba*] [*-x* _<flag>_] [*-X* _<flag>_] [*-H* _Header: Value_] [*-f* _<from>_] [*-t* _<to>_] [*-c* _<cc>_] [*-d* _<start[,end]>_] [_<terms>_...]++
*:search* [*-ruba*] [*-x* _<flag>_] [*-X* _<flag>_] [*-H* _Header: Value_] [*-f* _<from>_] [*-t* _<to>_] [*-c* _<cc>_] [*-d* _<start[,end]>_] [_<terms>_...]
Searches the current folder for messages matching the given set of
conditions.
*:filter* restricts the displayed messages to only the search results.
Each space separated term of _<terms>_, if provided, is searched
case-insensitively among subject lines unless *-b* or *-a* are
provided.
*-r*: Search for read messages
*-u*: Search for unread messages
*-x* _<flag>_, *-X* _<flag>_: Restrict search to messages with or without _<flag>_
Use *-x* to search for messages with the flag set.
Use *-X* to search for messages without the flag set.
Possible values are:
_Seen_
Read messages
_Answered_
Replied messages
_Flagged_
Flagged messages
_Draft_
Draft messages
*-H*: Search in the headers of the messages, for a specific header
Syntax: _Header: Value_
If the space between _:_ and the value is omitted, aerc will not
search for the Header.
*-b*: Search in the body of the messages
*-a*: Search in the entire text of the messages
*-f* _<from>_: Search for messages from _<from>_
*-t* _<to>_: Search for messages to _<to>_
*-c* _<cc>_: Search for messages cc'ed to _<cc>_
*-d* _<start[..end]>_:
Search for messages within a particular date range defined as
\[start, end).
Spaces and underscores are allowed in relative dates to improve
readability.
_YYYY-MM-DD_
*today*, *yesterday*
*(this|last) (year|month|week)*
*Weekdays*, *Monthnames*
Can also be abbreviate, so Monday..Tuesday can written
as Mon..Tue and February..March as Feb..Mar.
_<N>_ *(y[ear]|m[onth]|w[eek]|d[ay])*
_<N>_ is a positive integer that represents the number
of the time units in the past. Multiple relative terms
can will be accumulated. The units can also be
abbreviated by a single letter such that yesterday would
correspond to _1d_ (equivalent to _1 day_ or _1_day_)
and _8 days ago_ would be either _1w1d_ or _8d_.
# NOTMUCH
For notmuch, it is possible to avoid using the above flags and only rely on
notmuch search syntax.
*:filter* _query_...++
*:search* _query_...
You can use the full notmuch query language as described in
*notmuch-search-terms*(7).
The query will only apply on top of the active folder query.
Example, jump to next unread:
:search tag:unread
