On Debian:
sudo aptitude install namazu namazu2-index-tools
Then get this file:
https://github.com/deftsp/.emacs.d/blob/master/packages/gnus-namazu.el
Gunzip (and restore the .el suffix), then move the
file to `load-path'.
In Emacs:
(require 'gnus-namazu)
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "" (nnir-search-engine namazu))
(nntp "news.gmane.org")
(nntp "news.gwene.org")
(nntp "news.gnus.org")
))
Then:
M-x gnus-namazu-create-index RET
(wait)
M-x gnus-namazu-search <search string> RET
This searches *all* groups, not just the one at point
as with `G G' (which still doesn't work for nnml,
perhaps some setting is still not in effect...)
