After upgrading Debian from 11 to 12, gnus-group-make-nnir-group always
says that the search group contains no messages, even though there are
in fact messages in the original group which contain the string searched
for.

In *Messages* somethin like the following will appear:

  Opening server fu_exchange
  Searching nnimap+fu_exchange:HPC...done
  Group nnselect:nnselect-87jzu3z7wb.fsf contains no messages

The configuration in init.el is as follows:

  (setq user-mail-address "loris.bennett@fu-berlin.de")

  (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
  (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.zedat.fu-berlin.de")
  (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)

  (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.fu-berlin.de"))
  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
        (quote
         ((nnimap "fu_exchange"
                  (nnir-search-engine imap)
                  (remove-prefix "nnimap")
                  (nnimap-address "mail.zedat.fu-berlin.de")
                  (nnimap-record-commands t)
                  (nnimap-inbox INBOX)
                  (gnus-message-archive-group "nnimap+fu_exchange:Gesendete Elemente")))))

The same problem occurs with nntp groups (not configured in this test).

Unfortunately that is all the information I can provide, although I can
see that it is probably insufficient to identify the problem.

Andrew, any comments?  Is this perhaps already fixed in Emacs 29?

Further investigation reveal that this is not a general issue, but is
related to the specific select methods.

For my work setup I actually have, in addition to the settings above

  (nntp "fu_news"
        (nntp-address "news.fu-berlin.de")
	(remove-prefix nntp)
	(gnus-message-archive-group "nnimap+fu_exchange:Gesendete Elemente"))) 

Searching in newgroups subscribe to via the above also always returns no
messages.

However, in my private setup I have various email providers, such as GMX:

         (nnimap "gmx"
                  (nnimap-stream tls)
                  (remove-prefix "nnimap.")
                  (nnimap-record-commands t)
                  (nnimap-address "imap.gmx.com"))
  
If I add this to my work setup, search results within folders in the GMX
account *do* produce results.  Searching within the Exchange folder or the
NNTP groups still fails. 

Is there anything I can do to help debug the problem?

Cheers,

Loris

For the exchange server, you should just remove the `nnir-search-engine`
setting from the definition, it should work find by default.

I don't believe search works for nntp at all -- did it used to?

Hmm, perhaps you are right.  Maybe it never did.  It certainly doesn't
work on a third laptop with Emacs 27.1.  Perhaps I am just confusing
newsgroups and mailing lists (and mailing list posing as newsgroups via
Gmane) and it was actually just working for the mailing lists.

With init.el containing just

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.fu-berlin.de"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      (quote
       ((nnimap "gmx"
                (nnimap-stream tls)
                (nnimap-address "imap.gmx.com"))
	(nnimap "fu_exchange"
                (nnimap-stream tls)
		(nnimap-address "mail.zedat.fu-berlin.de")))))
(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(gnus-verbose 10))
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )

Searching within the GMX mailbox works but not in a newsgroup and the
Exchange mailbox.  The following is shown in *Messages*:

Opening server gmx
Searching nnimap+gmx:Family...done
Fetching headers for nnselect:nnselect-871qg4g5d5.fsf...

So I seem to be missing a search engine for the newsgroup, but as we
have established, that probably never worked.  However, the search in
the Exchange mailbox just fails without further information, and that
definitely did used to work.

Apparently Exchange does not like the character set being used.  This is
the error message that Exchange generates:

  SEARCH CHARSET UTF-8 TEXT hpc,"R=""6487 NO [BADCHARSET (US-ASCII)] The specified charset is not supported."

I don't quite understand the error, as I would not think US-ASCII was a
bad charset.  I assume it is more likely that my using a locale with

  LANG=en_US.utf8

might be the problem.  This may have been different before I updated
Debian.

If I search for a string such as "Bestätigung" in a folder belonging to
the GMX mail box, this also erroneously produces an empty result set.

So it looks like it is not an actually problem with Gnus as such.

Cheers,

Loris

The problem seems to have been resolved by Eric here:

  https://www.mail-archive.com/info-gnus-english@gnu.org/msg14117.html

This works for me.

Did the change make it into Gnus?

Anyway, thanks for the solution!

Cheers,

Loris
