Subject: gnus-search: do not limit search to specific groups?
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2020 10:00:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r1ohdadc.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)

Hello,

TL;DR: I just want the results from doing a notmuch search without
specifying groups at all, e.g. what I would get if I simply did

   notmuch search --output=files xxx

on the command line.  Is this possible?

With nnir and notmuch, I could do a search and get the results
regardless of which group they were in.  This functionality is critical
for my use of search but gnus-search (nnselect) does not seem to have an
equivalent capability?

I split emails to a significant number of groups but want all of them
searched usually.  A solution would be to search at the topic level, I
guess.  However, I tried setting gnus-search-engine in the topic but I
get the error: "No search engine defined for nnml:" when I try a search.

Thank you,
eric
