But I haven't got around to it :-( FWIW, process marking a nnimap group and pressing G G searches it without configuration, I think. It could work the same for nntp groups when the server supports a search command. Nnml, nnfolder etc probably needs configuration though, perhaps defaulting to use 'grep' could work though? > For example, nnimap works with nnir, because IMAP has a > built-in search command. Searching is limited to one mailbox only, with IMAP, though. It is too slow too search the entire server.
