With IMAP groups you need to process mark (`#') groups you want to
search -- searching all IMAP groups is too slow.

Perhaps the error message could be more helpful.

I remember adding code so one wouldn't need to configure nnir at all
for nnimap groups -- if you process mark nnimap groups they are
searched with the imap search-function.

Perhaps it could search the backend on current line -- like most gnus
functions do when there are no process marked groups -- what do you
think Kai?
