The correct way to use '(', ')', and '*' on the command-line for Xapian is to shell escape them: lei q -I https://lore.kernel.org/all/ -o ~/Mail/floppy \ --threads --dedupe=mid \ \( dfn:drivers/block/floppy.c OR dfhh:floppy_\* OR s:floppy \ OR \(\(nq:bug OR nq:regression\) AND nq:floppy\)\) \ AND rt:1.month.ago... Since shell escaping so many metacharacters is annoying, stdin is supported (and implicit iff file|pipe): echo '(dfn:drivers/block/floppy.c OR dfhh:floppy_* OR s:floppy \ OR ((nq:bug OR nq:regression) AND nq:floppy)) \ AND rt:1.month.ago..' | \ lei q -I https://lore.kernel.org/all/ -o ~/Mail/floppy \ --threads --dedupe=mid
