Personally I would like to be able to customize the hello screen to
remove the search box. I find it confusing that that 's' jumps to the
search box there, and everywhere else brings up the mini-buffer. That
might be just me, and the fact that I bind "C-c s" globally to
notmuch-search.  I could easily believe that for new users having a
search box is nicer.
