If you talk to an IMAP or Gmane nntp server (remote or a local dovecot), you can simply hit `G G' on a group to search it without having to configure anything (in recent Gnus versions). Almost all IMAP servers index at least to/from/subject for fast searches, and some also have fulltext search plugins (e.g., dovecot has one). Bye, Tassilo
