8.1.1 What is nnir?
-------------------
‘nnir’ is a Gnus interface to a number of tools for searching through
mail and news repositories. Different backends (like ‘nnimap’ and
‘nntp’) work with different tools (called “engines” in ‘nnir’ lingo),
but all use the same basic search interface.
The ‘nnimap’ and ‘gmane’ search engines should work with no
configuration. Other engines require a local index that needs to be
created and maintained outside of Gnus.
