gnus-registry-marks; possible to search and filter for marks
Hello, i use gnus-registry-marks to set the marks. That works, but i do not find commands to search or filter for particular marks. Is it possible? If not, what's the usage of such marks?

Well, they're nice to look at :) I wrote a function for Gnorb that conducts an nnir search based on information in the registry. It was horribly slow, because the registry only records message-ids. So for each message found, it had to first do a message-id->article-number lookup, then use that to actually retrieve the article. It was sort of too slow to be practically useful.

I once experimented with caching article numbers in the registry, and that helped, but I was sharing the registry between several Gnus installations, which meant that the numbers conflicted. You could just store the article numbers on first use, and not save them, but again that reduces the usefulness. All the other solutions I can imagine would require much more invasive code changes.
