Hmm...

$ notmuch count 'Debian'
65888
$ notmuch count '*ebian'
3
$ notmuch count '?ebian'
3
$ notmuch count 'ebian'
3
$ notmuch count '0ebian'
0

As far as I can tell, anything that is not a number or a letter is just 
stripped.

This is also interesting:
$ notmuch count 'debian'
65888
$ notmuch count 'dEbian'
65888
$ notmuch count 'Debian'
65887

Where can I read more about this? (except the source :)

Thanks,
Andrei
