Okay, simple enough.

That used to be nil by default, so it would only come into play if you'd
set it to something.

The cleanest thing to do is probably keep all the config in the server
definition itself. So:
'(nnml "outlook"
(gnus-search-engine
gnus-search-notmuch
(remove-prefix "/path/to/mail/toplevel/")
(config-file "/path/to/notmuch/config")))
If you anticipate switching back to Emacs 27 you can keep using
'(nnir-search-engine notmuch), that will continue to be honored.
If you feel like the searches are being conducted correctly, then my
guess is that the 'remove-prefix is wrong, and Gnus is parsing notmuch's
output incorrectly.
Did you customize `nnir-notmuch-remove-prefix'? I also note that its
default value is:
(regexp-quote (or (getenv "MAILDIR") (expand-file-name "~/Mail")))
While the default value of the equivalent
`gnus-search-notmuch-remove-prefix' is:
(concat (getenv "HOME") "/Mail/")
I'm not sure why I did that differently (though on my machine the result
is the same). Can you try the config above (with the 'remove-prefix
clause) and confirm that the path in that clause really is the path to
the toplevel directory of your mail installation? Basically, removing
the 'remove-prefix should result in a relative file path where the
directory is the group name.
That's my first and best guess.
Eric
