(I always find doing something the first time a little bit hairy, but now that I've done it, I can see why you thought it was 'somewhat obvious'). Another issue has arisen, and being the author of nnir.el, there couldn't be a better person to tell! I've tried two different indexing back ends; swish-e, and most recently, glimpse. In the case of swish-e I added the following to my ~/.gnus: (require 'nnir) (setq nnir-search-engine 'swish-e nnir-swish-e-index-file "/home/sebyte/.gnus.d/nnml-index.swish-e") Typing G-G in the group buffer, resulted in the message: gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group: Couldn't request group: Search produced empty results. Even though swish-e searches worked fine on the command line (having done the indexing, obviously) I decided to install and index my nnml folder with glimpse instead, so I replaced the above lines in my ~/.gnus with the following: (require 'nnir) (setq nnir-search-engine 'glimpse nnir-glimpse-home "/home/sebyte/.gnus.d/glimpse" nnir-glimpse-remove-prefix "/home/sebyte/.gnus.d/nnml/" nnir-glimpse-additional-switches '("-i" "-w")) Again, typing G-G in the Group buffer results in the same message, despite the fact that glimpse searches work fine on the command line. Am I simply missing something obvious? I hope not, because then I'm going to feel very stupid indeed. I fear that I am :-/ Sebastian
