Currently, you have to put (require 'nnmairix) in your .gnus to make the
bindings work, since they're set up in the gnus-group-mode-hook.
We should set up a permanent binding in group mode for an autoloaded
nnmairix-create-server-and-default-group. I didn't do this yet, since
there was no definite decision on what key bindings nnmairix should
use. At the moment, it uses the 'G b' prefix in group mode and '$' in
summary mode, while nnir uses 'G G'. Reiner suggested three alternatives
to improve this situation[*], where I voted for using 'G G' as a prefix
for nnmairix in all modes and using 'G G i' for nnir.

I don't think it's that. I don't have a (require 'nnmairix) and now
it's working. I think the problem is that I was investigating mairix by
walking through the info pages, and I had already started Gnus. If you
do that, nnmairix-group-mode-hook, which sets up the keybindings, never
gets called.

BTW, has anyone published a comparison article between all the fancy
nnir and nnmairix search methods yet?

I think that sounds fine. Could you make it so?

Is there no good option that doesn't require three keystrokes for
doing searches?
Whatever is chosen, I also noticed that there are no menu items
for mairix. Since I have trouble remembering such long keystrokes, menu
items would be useful. Also, `G G ?' and/or `G G h' should show a list
of further keystrokes. And maybe `G G' can say "Type ? for further
options" the way `C-h' does?

Yes, the nnmairix commands should be in the menu, too.

But all prefix take `?', so it seems redundant...

G b is the current nnmairix prefix, but when I type `G b ?', I get
G b ? is undefined
I wanted to make sure this didn't happen when G b was switched to
something else.
