i can confirm this on emacs 30.2 / gnus v5.13 with nnmaildir. setup: - gnus-secondary-select-methods: nnmaildir with (directory "~/Maildir/...") - gnus-search-default-engines: (nnmaildir . gnus-search-find-grep) gnus-search-find-grep fails: looks up nnmaildir-directory, nnmaildir only has directory → "no directory found in definition of server" (same as visuwesh msg #14 point 1). now i use gnus-search-mu instead; also hit related bug#72196 (full group names passed as maildir: paths). workaround: strip with gnus-group-short-name before the mu command. happy to test patches.
