So it seems that the problem does not always occur.  With a stripped
down configuration I now find the search still works for two private
email accounts, but not with my work account (Exchange), with which it
did previously work.

I am not aware that there has been a change with the email server at
work, so maybe the more recent version of Emacs/Gnus no longer tolerates
something it once did.  Strange also that the actual newsgroups are also
affected.

So not (directly) an Emacs/Gnus issue.

Cheers,

Loris
