The relevant section in the manual is this:

,-----
|    * You can set a bookmark in the current article.  Say you are
|      reading a long thesis on cats' urinary tracts, and have to go home
|      for dinner before you've finished reading the thesis.  You can
|      then set a bookmark in the article, and Gnus will jump to this
|      bookmark the next time it encounters the article.  *Note Setting
|      Marks::.
`-----

Sounds like it's a way to find a spot in the current article, not a
way to find an article.

I suggest that you tick the message with `!' or `u' (same thing).
This way, you still have to remember which group it was in, but...
