Hm - I tried it out, but G G gives an error message:

  Search produced empty results.
  gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group: Couldn't request group: Search produced
  empty results.

I have 

  (require 'nnir)
  (setq nnir-search-engine 'notmuch)

in my gnus.el file - is there anything else I have to do or am I using
it wrong?
