Hello,
Has anyone figured out if it's possible and how to use
nnir.el to search multiple backends (in my case multiple
IMAP servers)? What I want is to be able to process mark a
bunch of groups in the Group buffer, regardless of each
groups backend, and search them all at once.
I can get it to search one backend by setting
nnir-mail-backend to a particular one. But, it seems I have
to change that variable every time I want to search a
different backend.
Am I missing something or does nnir only support one backend
at a time?
Thanks muchly!

I've been wanting to add multi-server support to nnir.el for quite a
while now. But I've never found the time. Too bad.
If you know a little Lisp, you could try to work on it. You could put
the nnir variables into server parameters, then you iterate over all
servers and issue the right query.
I can't promise that I'll work on this anytime soon.

Be indiscrete. Do it continuously.

Ah, okay. Well, at least I know I'm not doing anything
wrong! :)

If I find the time to do something about I'll send it to
you.
