Obviously, the group name is mangled between the lower and the upper
line above. As it turns out, the culprit is the function
gnus-group-real-name:
(defmacro gnus-group-real-name (group)
"Find the real name of a foreign newsgroup."
`(let ((gname ,group))
(if (string-match "^[^:]+:" gname)
(substring gname (match-end 0))
gname)))
It cuts off everything before the first `:'!
Ick.
So, you could try to search for "^Subject. ping log$" which does not
contain a `:' and hence is not mangled. Another alternative is to
enter the following for searching: "x:^Subject: ping log$" which
provides Gnus Colon Eater food -- dunno if this actually works.
I'll send another message to this list asking what to do about this.
