I guess it is more complex than using the server definition from the
server buffer to tell nnir where to conduct the search eh?

I thought maybe this could be set in a var somewhere but didn't know
where or how.

In my case it is a second nnml server, so not a different backend,
I'd like to search.  That server doesn't appear in "secondary select
methods" but does have a definition in server buffer, that lists the
main directory.
