[Waleed Yousef]

I used to use namazu as the search engine inside gnus. All of a sudden,
it is no longer working. Probably, this is after I started using
spacemacs. But nothing changed. This is my configurations:

(require 'nnir)
(setq nnir-method-default-engines '((nnml . namazu)))
(setq nnir-namazu-index-directory (expand-file-name "~/.namazu-mail"))
(setq nnir-namazu-remove-prefix "/home/wyousef/Mail/")

nnir has been replaced by gnus-search in Emacs 28 -- this configuration
should get you obsolete variable warnings. Replacement config is pretty
direct:

(setq gnus-search-default-engines '((nnml . namazu)))
(setq gnus-search-namazu-index-directory (expand-file-name "~/.namazu-mail"))
(setq gnus-search-namazu-remove-prefix "/home/wyousef/Mail/")

Try that...

Great; thanks so much.

On a side note, this means that I have always to keep reading the release update. This is a lot of time waste. Why there is no backward compatibility?

nnir -> gnus-search was quite a major change, and it would have been
impractical to maintain perfect backward compatibility (not to mention
that would prevent you from using some of gnus-search's new features).
You should have been seeing an obsolete variable warning about this on
every Emacs start -- that's supposed to be your clue.
