In the Gnus info file, we find the following example:
(setq gnus-refer-article-method
'(current
(nnweb "refer" (nnweb-type google))))
Isn't it strange that it refers to a search at Google by the name of
"refer"? I vaguely recall that there was once a dejanews-like
service named refer. Or does the "refer" refer to the fact that it
is in gnus-refer-article-method?
Hm. Maybe it's just me being confused...

It's just the name of the server -- it could be called anything.

But documentation should make sense. And if it is a meaningless
string, why don't you use blarfl or something similarly enlightening?
I suggest to use (nnweb "" ...) or (nnweb "google" ...) or (nnweb
"foo" ...).
Opinions?

Ok, I've now changed it to "blarfl".

That's an even better idea, so I re-changed it to "google".
