Yes, notmuch works, at least for nnml in my case.  You have to create
and update the search database using "notmuch new" periodically outside
gnus.  I use crontab for this.

Within gnus, you have to do something along these lines:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (require 'nnir)
  (push '(nnml . notmuch) nnir-method-default-engines)
  ;; the following turns off new behaviour that limited search to specific groups
  (setq nnir-notmuch-filter-group-names-function nil)
#+end_src 

Finally, you may have to define appropriate settings (e.g. the database)
in your ~/.notmuch-config configuration file.

HTH,
eric

hello,
thank you for this answer.
it works!
but if i want to search for messages with a from: query, the results
contains messages in which the from: address appears inside the to:
also.
e.g.: from: zz@hotmail.de
then the query contains messages with to: zz@hotmail.de.

this phenomene appears also inside a query, which i start inside notmuch-mode.
perhaps there is a configuration option to show ONLY from: inside a
query with from:

any ideas?

Maybe something you can change in the configuration of notmuch.  I don't
know unfortunately.

Doesn't this search for the two separate terms "from:" and
"zz@hotmail.de"?

I would expect the syntax to be "from:zz@hotmail.de" (notice no space)
if you want to find all emails that have zz@hotmail.de in the
from:-field.
