path:{folder} works for me, using notmuch on the command line.
My email is in nnml format in various folders in ~/Mail/{folder}, and my
.notmuch-config has:
[database]
path=/home/asjo/Mail
Searching for "Adam" gives me a lot of results:
asjo@tullinup:~$ time notmuch search Adam | wc -l
32911
real 0m6.574s
user 0m5.016s
sys 0m1.577s
If I limit the search using path:, I get less, so it looks like it
works:
asjo@tullinup:~$ time notmuch search "Adam path:cron" | wc -l
507
real 0m0.148s
user 0m0.128s
sys 0m0.024s
My notmuch index has ~119K entries:
$ time notmuch count
119018

Yeah! I guess it could matter when the results are excluded,
performance-wise, but in practise, I would guess it would be "fast
enough"™ to do it post hoc.

I know that feeling all too well... :-)
