Thanks.  How can I specify the prefix?  Everything I type after
C-u seems to be interpreted as a command rather than a search
key.

And where is imap nnir search documented?

Of course, I can do GG author@domain.com and then /-a
author@domain.com, but typing the search twice does not seem
optimal to me.
