search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in
favour of using stdout.
+Optimizations
+-------------
+
+Search avoids opening and parsing message files
+
+ We now store more information in the database so search no longer
+ has to open every message file to get basic headers. This can
+ improve search speed by as much as 10X, but taking advantage of this
+ requires a database rebuild:
+
+ notmuch dump > notmuch.dump
+ # Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch)
+ notmuch new
+ notmuch restore notmuch.dump
