Hello all,

I have an nnvirtual group that combines a number of nnml groups.  I
would like gnus search to work on that folder using notmuch but gnus
does not seem to allow setting the search engine for a virtual group.
Any suggestions?

FTR, I have tried

  (add-to-list 'gnus-search-default-engines '(nnvirtual . notmuch))
  
to no avail.

Thank you,
eric

PS - I was confused by this description of a variable:

gnus-search-engine is a variable without a source file.

This variable is obsolete since 25.1; use 'gnus-search-engine
instead
