Yes.

The termlist is constructed when the message is added to the database,
so the database must be reconstructed.

Newer messages will index email addresses so that they can't be matched
by overlapping term indexes.  However, the corpus of your database is
not going to change without manual intervention.

A simple rebuild when you go to bed can look like:

notmuch dump >dump.txt; notmuch new; notmuch restore dump.txt

-Mark
