- <b>--sort=(newest-first|oldest-first)</b>
-
- This option can be used to present results in either chrono-
- logical order (<b>oldest-first</b>) or reverse chronological order
- (<b>newest-first</b>).
-
- Note: The thread order will be distinct between these two
- options (beyond being simply reversed). When sorting by <b>old-</b>
- <b>est-first</b> the threads will be sorted by the oldest message
- in each thread, but when sorting by <b>newest-first</b> the threads
- will be sorted by the newest message in each thread.
-
- By default, results will be displayed in reverse chronologi-
- cal order, (that is, the newest results will be displayed
- first).
-
- <b>--offset=[-]N</b>
-
- Skip displaying the first N results. With the leading '-',
- start at the Nth result from the end.
-
- <b>--limit=N</b>
-
- Limit the number of displayed results to N.
-
- <b>--exclude=(true|false|all|flag)</b>
-
- A message is called "excluded" if it matches at least one
- tag in search.tag_exclude that does not appear explicitly in
- the search terms. This option specifies whether to omit
- excluded messages in the search process.
-
- The default value, <b>true</b>, prevents excluded messages from
- matching the search terms.
-
- <b>all</b> additionally prevents excluded messages from appearing
- in displayed results, in effect behaving as though the
- excluded messages do not exist.
-
- <b>false</b> allows excluded messages to match search terms and
- appear in displayed results. Excluded messages are still
- marked in the relevant outputs.
-
- <b>flag</b> only has an effect when --output=summary. The output is
- almost identical to <b>false</b>, but the "match count" is the num-
- ber of matching non-excluded messages in the thread, rather
- than the number of matching messages.
-
- <b>--duplicate=N</b>
-
- Effective with --output=files, output the Nth filename asso-
- ciated with each message matching the query (N is 1-based).
- If N is greater than the number of files associated with the
- message, don't print anything.
-
- Note that this option is orthogonal with the <b>folder:</b> search
- prefix. The prefix matches messages based on filenames. This
- option filters filenames of the matching messages.
