Erh, uhm, maybe :) I never thought about recursing into sub-topics. I can see about adding this.

The gmane search interface (documented at search.gmane.org) just searches the whole message (aside from restricting by group and author). Francis> For local stuff, I'm using nnmairix. Why isn't it a Francis> possible search backend of nnir ? It's on my todo list. But nnmairix provides some functionality that isn't available through the nnir interface, so if you use any of these features you should stick with nnmairix anyway.
