Search gmane from gnus?

Search gmane from gnus?

Hi

Is there a way of searching a newgroup (e.g. this one) on gmane from
within gnus / emacs? I mean I can always display all messages (/o) and
then search for e.g. author (/a) - but this takes *ages* in big
newsgroups.

If there is no way, is there a way of copying all new messages of a
newsgroup (and preferably the old ones as well) into a different folder
in gnus?

I use notmuch to index my local maildir and the search is brilliant.

Cheers,

Rainer

Simply pressing "G G" in the group buffer with the point on the 
gmane group should work out of the box and without configuration.

Shame on me - I overwrote the "G G" to do a notmuch search - removed it,
working now.

Thanks,

Rainer

You can configure nnir to use notmuch on the relevant groups - just put
(nnir-search-engine notmuch) in the appropriate places.

I.e. I have:

  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
        '(
          (nnml ""
                (nnir-search-engine notmuch))
          (nntp "news.gmane.org"
   [...]

and:

  (setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnml "archive"
                                           (nnml-directory "~/Mail/archive")
                                           (nnml-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
                                           (nnml-get-new-mail nil)
                                           (nnir-search-engine notmuch)
                                           (nnml-inhibit-expiry t)))

With this G G automatically uses notmuch in by nnml-groups.

I guess one needs to keep the notmuch index up to date "by hand"...

I meant "the relevant servers"...

Good idea - But as I can search on gmane directly, I think I will stop
archiving all newsgroups locally.

Thanks a lot,

Rainer

That makes sense - I only used notmuch for searching my email.
