M-s in a *Summary* buffer searches through the articles:

,----
| M-s runs the command gnus-summary-search-article-forward, which is an
| interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
| 
| It is bound to M-s, <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Search articles forward...>.
| 
| (gnus-summary-search-article-forward REGEXP &optional BACKWARD)
| 
| Search for an article containing REGEXP forward.
| If BACKWARD, search backward instead.
`----

For a more "search engine"-like experience, look at nnir.

Thanks for this Adam, I've just got round to trying it out, and its
not working as I expect, like, how do you continue the search from
one found mail? I've tried "M-s"/"M-r" again, but its prompting me
to choose my search term again which just then finds the mail that
I've already found! So it never advances like "I-search" does.

I'll have a look at "nnir" and see if I can get what I want from it.

Thanks
Sharon.
