can a notmuch query filter the output based on the size of a thread?

I have never personally had the need to search based on numbers of
messages, but I have definitely thought that it would be good if
searches worked over entire threads instead of just messages.  I would
much prefer if a search for "foo AND bar" would turn up a thread where
"foo" was mentioned in one message in the thread and "bar" was mentioned
in another.  I think that would be very useful.
