NOTMUCH-REINDEX(1)

NAME

       notmuch-reindex - re-index matching messages

SYNOPSIS

       notmuch reindex [option ...] <search-term> ...

DESCRIPTION

       Re-index all messages matching the search terms.

       See  notmuch-search-terms(7)  for  details  of the supported syntax for
       <search-term>.

       The reindex command searches for all  messages  matching  the  supplied
       search  terms,  and  re-creates  the  full-text index on these messages
       using the supplied options.

       Supported options for reindex include

       --decrypt=(true|nostash|auto|false)
              If true, when encountering an encrypted message, try to  decrypt
              it  while  reindexing, stashing any session keys discovered.  If
              auto, and notmuch already knows about a session key for the mes‐
              sage, it will try decrypting using that session key but will not
              try to access the user's secret keys.  If decryption is success‐
              ful, index the cleartext itself.

              nostash  is  the  same  as  true  except  that it will not stash
              newly-discovered session keys in the database.

              If false, notmuch reindex will also delete any  stashed  session
              keys for all messages matching the search terms.

              Be aware that the index is likely sufficient (and a stashed ses‐
              sion key is certainly sufficient) to reconstruct  the  cleartext
              of the message itself, so please ensure that the notmuch message
              index is adequately protected.  DO  NOT  USE  --decrypt=true  or
              --decrypt=nostash  without  considering  the  security  of  your
              index.

              See also index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).
