That switch is already part of nnir's search command, so you shouldn't
have to add it to the additional switches config. Can you un-set that
option and try again?

If it's still not working, I'm guessing that it's actually something
else that's going wrong. If you have the sources installed, you can take
a look at `nnir-run-notmuch' and try replicating the search command on
the command line, or maybe edebug a call?
