Thank you for your quick reaction.  FWIW, I don’t care about
reverting.  If I find a solution that only works with newest Emacs,
that’s fine.  However, this is only me.

Franky, I don’t understand all this really.  I'm driving blindfolded
a bit.  Anyway, I put

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "" (nnir-search-engine namazu
                                     (nnir-namazu-index-directory "/var/lib/namazu/")))))
(setq gnus-search-namazu-index-directory "/var/lib/namazu/")

in my .gnus.

The *Messages* buffer says:

nnselect-run: gnus-search-run-query on ((search-query-spec (query . testquery) (raw)) (search-group-spec (nnml: nnml:KFA))) gave error (unbound-slot gnus-search-namazu #<gnus-search-namazu gnus-search-namazu-157f858a8568> index-directory oref)
Group nnselect:nnselect-87a6sztnu9.fsf contains no messages

Regards,
Torsten.
