I'm not sure I fully understand, but it seems you are trying to search an nndoc group? Or maybe nnml? nnir uses an index to perform search queries. imap servers provide such an index by default (which is why imap searches are enabled by default) and gmane also has an index (ditto) but for any other backend searches you need to provide an index yourself. Unless you have created an index for nndoc, nnml or a local spool file, searching won't work on these servers. I am trying to write up some documentation so this will be clear, but it may take a while. If you want to set up an index you can look at the comments toward the beginning of nnir.el
