Re: Help testing gnus-search fixups

Eric,

I tried your latest gnus-search code, but it didn't work for me. I
noticed that in gnus-search-indexed-parse-output the `group' variable
was wrong, resulting in nnmaildir-base-name-to-article-number returning
nil. This is my setup, having multiple secondary nnmaildir servers:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnmaildir "One" (directory "~/Mail/one/"))
        (nnmaildir "Two" (directory "~/Mail/two/"))
        ...)
      gnus-search-default-engines
      '((nnmaildir . notmuch)))

I found that I could make it work by giving `prefix' its value from the
servers at the start of the function. Like so:

(let ((prefix (or (nnmaildir--srv-dir
                    (alist-get (string-remove-prefix "nnmaildir:" server)
                                nnmaildir--servers nil nil #'equal))
                  ""))
       ...))

This uses the correct prefix "~/Mail/one/" and so on, not just "~/Mail/"
from the engine. I have no idea what a general solution would look like.
It could be my setup that is wrong, I don't know.
