Thank you, it all makes sense now. Maybe that's also why it doesn't work
on nnml and nndraft either.

What backend can you use gnus-search-notmuch with then ? And what search
engines should you use with nnml and nndraft ? Am I right in assuming
that with the right gnus-search-engines set up gnus-search could search
through all backends and return the matching messages in a single
nnselect group ?

gnus-search-imap is indeed working fine.
