I have the following macro configured for mu searches: macro index,pager \CS "<shell-escape>[[ -d ~/.mu/results ]] && rm -r ~/.mu/results; mkdir -p ~/.mu/results/cur ~/.mu/results/new ~/.mu/results/tmp\n<change-folder-readonly>~/.mu/results\n<shell-escape>mu find --format=links --linksdir ~/.mu/results --clearlinks " "mu-find" Invoking that brings up a shell command line, where typing the mu search terms at the end and hitting <enter> takes you directly to the search results. Note that the initial deleting-then-recreating the ~/.mu/results maildir part of that macro is purely cosmetic. When typing the new search terms, I prefer to see an empty folder instead of the results of whatever the last search I ran was. The (redundant in the above macro) --clearlinks option to mu clears out the old results as soon as the search is run, so the following would work fine too if you don't care about this cosmetic issue: macro index,pager \CS "<change-folder-readonly>~/.mu/results\n<shell-escape>mu find --format=links --linksdir ~/.mu/results --clearlinks " "mu-find" HTH, Toby -- Dr T.
