I've seen this mentioned before, I keep wishing I could use it, and nn can
do it, so it seems like a good idea for a feature request:
Make something like gnus-summary-limit-to-* in the group buffer that
selects the group and shows only those articles that match. `/' is
conveniently free in the group buffer.
This probably isn't a big deal unless the speed of group entry can somehow
be increased. I often do "C-u SPC (wait wait wait) / a" to pick some
useful old articles from an archive. If the limiting can be done before
the summary buffer is generated this could be a big win.
Also, (to go with the above) it would be nice if you could limit by age
somehow (say, all articles less than one week old) and possibly limit by
multiple criteria (keep prompting for more things to limit by).
I can stop dreaming now, I guess.

Excellent suggestion. I've added this to the Red Gnus todo list.

This would also be nice, so I've added it as well.

Could you maybe also add limiting by body regexp ?
I know it will take oodles of time, but it is the
remaining thing I am missing after switching from VM.

Since we're asking for limiting features, could we also have support
for negating the regexp, which I don't think is currently possible?
Cheers

Yes, that should be possible. I've added it to the Red Gnus todo
list.
