Eric(1): thank you so much, this helped and solved my problem!
Eric(2): you are right: the hack is not needed and my search functions work
         smoothly without it. not sure what remaining bug there might
         be, but you may want to consider to change the default value
         here for people like me who use "mail" instead of "Mail":

(defcustom gnus-search-notmuch-remove-prefix gnus-directory
  "The prefix to remove from each file name returned by notmuch
in order to get a group name (albeit with / instead of .).  This is a
regular expression.

This variable can also be set per-server."
  :type 'regexp
  :version "28.1")

cheers Thomas
