Yes, right. Limiting works only on articles already shown. To get enter a group showning only the "right" articles, there's no general way, I guess. At least for IMAP groups, you might be able to use a search on a group (`G G') instead of entering it (at some point in the future, cause date searches seem to be not implemented right now). ,----[ C-h f nnir-imap-make-query RET ] | nnir-imap-make-query is a compiled Lisp function in `nnir.el'. | | (nnir-imap-make-query CRITERIA QSTRING) | | Parse the query string and criteria into an appropriate IMAP search | expression, returning the string query to make. | | This implements a little language designed to return the expected results | to an arbitrary query string to the end user. | | The search is always case-insensitive, as defined by RFC2060, and supports | the following features (inspired by the Google search input language): | | Automatic "and" queries | If you specify multiple words then they will be treated as an "and" | expression intended to match all components. | | Phrase searches | If you wrap your query in double-quotes then it will be treated as a | literal string. | | Negative terms | If you precede a term with "-" then it will negate that. | | "OR" queries | If you include an upper-case "OR" in your search it will cause the | term before it and the term after it to be treated as alternatives. | | In future the following will be added to the language: | * support for date matches | * support for location of text matching within the query | * from/to/etc headers | * additional search terms | * flag based searching | * anything else that the RFC supports, basically. `---- Bye, Tassilo
