Which is what I thought but it did not work for me. Having seen that it
works for you, it turns out that the search fails completely if there
are any "strange" groups [1] within the topic. Deleting such has fixed
this for me.
Suggestion: it might be good if gnus-search were a bit more resilient to
errors.
thank you,
eric
Footnotes:
[1] I had a group "nnml:mail.pandian", i.e. without a server name after
the nnml. Gnus does not complain when I visit that group, ending
up in the same place as visiting another group
"nnml+outlook:mail.pandian".
