Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2020 10:00:31 +0000 Organization: On the Interweb somewhere Message-ID: <87r1ohdadc.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/28.0.50 (gnu/linux) Cancel-Lock: sha1:PqXCJvXtsRDd+itZ8n39jSCt+DQ= X-Url: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucecesf/ List-ID: Precedence: bulk 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.
