If you type ‘?’ or ‘/’, Mew asks you to input search pattern as follows:
mewl/grep pick pattern: |
If you specify just a keyword, Mew executes ‘grep’. On the contrast if you type an expression, Mew calls ‘mewl’.
Here is a list of expression elements. (In the strong order)
Match if the "field" field contains the "string" string (case-insensitive). If you specify "head", it means the entire header.
Match if the "field" field contains the "string" string (case-sensitive). If you specify "head", it means the entire header.
Match if the "field" field does not the "string" string (case-insensitive). If you specify "head", it means the entire header.
Match if the "field" field does not the "string" string (case-sensitive). If you specify "head", it means the entire header.
Evaluate <pattern> first.
Match if not <pattern>.
Match if <pattern1> AND <pattern2>. You can omit this.
Match if <pattern1> OR <pattern2>.
Some examples are shown below.
(a) Messages whose From: contains "kazu".
from=kazu |
(b) Messages whose To: contains "mew" OR Cc: contains "mew".
to=mew | cc=mew |
irtual (c) Messages whose To: contains "mew" OR Cc: contains "mew" AND From: contains "kazu".
(to=mew | cc=mew) & from=kazu |
When you execute ‘?’ or ‘/’ and if you just type ‘RET’ to a pattern, you can specify a command to be executed.
Cmd opts pattern: grep -l -e |
When you use an search engine with ‘k?’ or ‘k/’, the pattern (including just a keyword and an expression) will be converted to the syntax of the search engine.
For example, you can write an expression, that From: is "kazu" and body contains "wine" but does not contain "bordeaux", as follows:
from=kazu wine ! bordeaux |
If you set ‘mew-pick-pattern-list’ to a list of pattern, you can enjoy circular completion with ‘C-cTAB’. In this case, the first member is displayed as a default value.
