nnir-retrieve-headers fails

nnir-retrieve-headers fails

[Niklas Morberg]

Sorry for all the postings today. I really want to be able
to search through all my emails from within Gnus.

When using nnir (nnir-version is: "$Id: nnir.el,v 1.1.1.1
2003/04/04 20:16:09 lolando Exp $") with `G G' from the
group buffer and Gnus 5.10.6 I get the following error:

nnheader-parse-head returned nil for article 4354 in group nnml:archive

I get the same error (but for different files) no matter
what search string I try to use. I have tried both swish-e
and swish++, and the problem is there for both search
engines. My settings are:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "my-imap-server" (nnimap-stream ssl)))
;; I only use nnml to be able to use nnir. Do I need it at all?
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))))

;; nnir with swish++
(require 'nnir)
(setq nnir-search-engine 'swish++)
(setq nnir-swish++-program "search++")
(setq nnir-swish++-index-file "/home/niklas/News/swish++.index")
(setq nnir-swish++-configuration-file "/home/niklas/News/swish++.conf")
(setq nnir-swish++-remove-prefix "/home/niklas/News/agent/nnimap/my-imap-server/"))

;; nnir with swish-e
(require 'nnir)
(setq nnir-search-engine 'swish-e)
(setq nnir-swish-e-index-file "/home/niklas/News/index.swish-e")
(setq nnir-swish-e-remove-prefix "/home/niklas/News/agent/nnimap/my-imap-server/")

I use the agent to fetch messages from my IMAP server to
local storage and the file (e.g. 4354) does exist locally.

I tried upgrading to nnir-version "$Id: nnir.el,v 7.4
2004/04/05 14:20:07 rsteib Exp $", but the result is still
the same.

What do you want to search with nnir?  If it is IMAP, then you need:

(setq nnir-search-engine 'imap)

And then use # on the groups you want to search, and then G G.  This
uses the SEARCH command on the IMAP server directly, bypassing the
Gnus backend interface.

If you want to search the agent copy of the IMAP server, using swish,
I'm afraid I don't know how to do it.

I got this to work a while back, but it was painfully slow
and I wasn't able to search for multiple words, only
complete strings. Which is why...

...I'm trying to do this. Sorry for not making that clear to
begin with.
