Works so far for me.

| +(cl-defmethod gnus-search-indexed-extract :around
| +  ((_engine gnus-search-indexed))
| +  (let ((ret (cl-call-next-method)))

Why do you need an :around method here - why don't you just add that to
the primary method?

| +    ;; We run `expand-file-name' here in order to collapse multiple
| +    ;; consecutive directory separators.
| +    (cl-callf expand-file-name (car ret))
| +    ret))

If I were you I would add to the comment that mairix may return such
multi-separator file names - else it's not clear why that collapsing is
necessary at that point.


Thanks,

Michael.
