It's really close, I think.

It doesn't add the "not close if I hit 'q'" feature, though.

And I agree that that feature is really important for using a default
search as the "primary landing page" of notmuch. I really wanted that
feature when I was using the original `notmuch' command as my primary
landing page.

The idea is to allow the user to basically just keep hitting 'q' to
quickly pop back up to the primary search.

As far as "could we make it configurable?": Of course! This is emacs
after all. ;-)
