nnir and imap

[Venkatesh K S]

Hi,

I have the following setup

(require 'nnir)
(setq nnir-mail-backend (assoc 'nnimap gnus-secondary-select-methods))
(setq nnir-search-engine 'imap)


How will know if my imap server supports searching?
How do I go about using this feature?

thanks,
-ksv

I found out that ``(nnir-search-engine imap)'' in the nnimap select
method stanza did the trick.

Like this:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "imap"
                (nnimap-address "imap.deich.folkebibl.no")
                (nnimap-expunge-on-close always)
                (nnir-search-engine imap))))

Still works like this.  In addition, if you just want to search one
group, you can just press GG with point on the group in the group
buffer.

Didn't make the sligthest difference. I'm using Gnus v5.10.6 with
XEmacs 21.1 (patch 14). Still got the result:

Signaling: (error "Couldn't request group: Search produced empty results.")
  signal(error ("Couldn't request group: Search produced empty results."))
  cerror("Couldn't request group: %s" "Search produced empty results.")
  apply(cerror ("Couldn't request group: %s" "Search produced empty results."))
  error("Couldn't request group: %s" "Search produced empty results.")
  gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group("nnir:((query . \"news.gmane.org\"))" (nnir "") t (#<buffer "*Group*"> . group) nil)
  gnus-group-make-nnir-group(nil "news.gmane.org")
  call-interactively(gnus-group-make-nnir-group)
