Trying to use mu for searching in gnus and never getting any results. No error messages, just empty search. mu find on the command line works fine and returns what is expected (and does in mu4e as well), but this does not give me anything in Gnus. Any suggestions? …

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
  '((nnmaildir "mail"
	   (directory "/home/britt/.local/share/mail")
	   (gnus-search-engine gnus-search-mu))))

    I ended up installing dovecot, along with one of the search engines it can use for server side imap searching. It works really well, is really fast, and didn’t require setting up user databases or any of that stuff.

      Thanks. I was doing that for a while, but when my University moved to office365 and I had to add davmail to the mix my refreshing for new mail got very slow as it insisted on looking at all the folders. I was hoping to just use nnmaildir and drop dovecot from the mix, but maybe I will find it easier to fix dovecot than get mu working.
