Thank you. That part of the Gnus FAQ perhaps needs to be updated; nnir
is now a part of Gnus (info "Gnus(nnir)").
I can of course use `gnus-summary-search-article-forward' (M-s), but
searching for a string through a news group with about 30,000 articles
like this is not practical.
As for `gnus-group-make-web-group' (G W), it produces no results with
the search string I give, although just the one group that I am looking
at has many messages that match the search string.
What I was hoping for was a way to use nnir to create an ephemeral group
with the messages, in a Usenet news group, that satisfy the search
criterion, just as it does with IMAP groups.
Raghu.
