I am also experiencing the same error.  My configuration had been
working fine for years, but after updating Debian from 11 to 12 and
hence Emacs from 27.1 to 28.2 I now have this problem.  The issue
arises with both imap and nntp groups.

This is what appears in *Messages* with gnus-verbose set to 10:

  Retrieving newsgroup: nnselect:nnselect-87v8dpn1ch.fsf...
  Opening server fu_exchange
  Searching nnimap+fu_exchange:HPC...done
  Group nnselect:nnselect-87v8dpn1ch.fsf contains no messages

The group definitely contains messages and definitely contains messages
which contain the string I searched for.

Any ideas what I might have a look at?

Cheers,

Loris
