G G runs the command gnus-group-make-nnir-group

I really don't know why I would have this and you wouldn't: I've looked
through my gnus.el and it doesn't look like I've customized anything
related to nnir -- that string doesn't even appear in my setup.

Give it a shot though? It's pretty handy. I have no idea what the search
syntax is, I just whack plain strings in there.
