If you talk to an IMAP or Gmane nntp server (remote or a local dovecot),
you can simply hit `G G' on a group to search it without having to
configure anything (in recent Gnus versions).  Almost all IMAP servers
index at least to/from/subject for fast searches, and some also have
fulltext search plugins (e.g., dovecot has one).
