| Here are three alternatives.  I'd suggest to go for (a).  Opinions?
| Other suggestions?
| 
| (a) Establish `G G' as a prefix for all search facilities in Gnus.
|     `G G' is not used in Gnus upto now (beside nnir.el).
| 
|     - Change nnmairix to use the prefix `G G' instead of `G b' in
|       group and instead of `$ ...' in summary mode.
| 
|       Use `G G m ...' (nn*m*airix) for not so frequently used nnmairix
|       commands.
| 
|     - Change nnir.el's `G G' to some other `G G' prefixed key, e.g. 
|       `G G i' (nn*i*r).
| 
| (b) Establish `G B' as a prefix for all search facilities in Gnus.
|     `G B' is not used in Gnus upto now.
| 
|     - Change nnmairix to use the prefix `G B' instead of `G b' in
|       group and instead of `$ ...' in summary mode.
| 
|       Use `G B m ...' (nn*m*airix) for not so frequently used nnmairix
|       commands.
| 
|     - Change nnir.el's `G G' to some `G B' prefixed key, e.g. `G B i'
|       (nn*i*r).
| 
| (c) Establish `G b' as a prefix for all search facilities in Gnus.
|     `G b' is used in Gnus for `gnus-summary-best-unread-article'.
| 
|     - Change nnmairix to use the prefix `G b' instead of `$ ...' in
|       summary mode.
| 
|       Use `G b m ...' (nn*m*airix) for not so frequently used nnmairix
|       commands.
| 
|     - Change nnir.el's `G G' to some `G b' prefixed key, e.g. `G b i'
|       (nn*i*r).
| 
|     - Move the `G b' binding of `gnus-summary-best-unread-article' to
|       `G B'.

Bye, Reiner.
