You're welcome. No need to feel ashamed.

Yes, right. Limiting works only on articles already shown.
To get enter a group showning only the "right" articles, there's no
general way, I guess. At least for IMAP groups, you might be able to
use a search on a group (`G G') instead of entering it (at some point in
the future, cause date searches seem to be not implemented right now).
,----[ C-h f nnir-imap-make-query RET ]
| nnir-imap-make-query is a compiled Lisp function in `nnir.el'.
|
| (nnir-imap-make-query CRITERIA QSTRING)
|
| Parse the query string and criteria into an appropriate IMAP search
| expression, returning the string query to make.
|
| This implements a little language designed to return the expected results
| to an arbitrary query string to the end user.
|
| The search is always case-insensitive, as defined by RFC2060, and supports
| the following features (inspired by the Google search input language):
|
| Automatic "and" queries
| If you specify multiple words then they will be treated as an "and"
| expression intended to match all components.
|
| Phrase searches
| If you wrap your query in double-quotes then it will be treated as a
| literal string.
|
| Negative terms
| If you precede a term with "-" then it will negate that.
|
| "OR" queries
| If you include an upper-case "OR" in your search it will cause the
| term before it and the term after it to be treated as alternatives.
|
| In future the following will be added to the language:
| * support for date matches
| * support for location of text matching within the query
| * from/to/etc headers
| * additional search terms
| * flag based searching
| * anything else that the RFC supports, basically.
