OK, so for the newsgroups I get this error:

nnselect-run: gnus-search-run-query on ((search-query-spec (query
. emacs) (raw)) (search-group-spec (nntp:news.fu-berlin.de comp.emacs)))
gave error (gnus-search-config-error gnus-search-config-error No search
engine configured for nntp:news.fu-berlin.de)

What should the search engine be for nntp?
