Just pulled current HEAD and tried

$ notmuch search tag:notmuch and date:"this week"

Can somebody explain me the result? This is definitely not the mail from
this week.

Also the results below look strange to me.

notmuch search tag:notmuch and date:'"this week"'

The following is also not very nice. I'm not sure whether notmuch can do
anything prevent this error. Double-quoting (like above) helps here.

$ notmuch search tag:notmuch and date:"this week.."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
A Xapian exception occurred performing query: Unknown range operation
Query string was: tag:notmuch and date:this week..

I'm sorry to not have more time for debugging these problems.

Cheers,
