That's the value of `nnir-method-default-engines'; the new
`gnus-search-default-engines' has never had that value.

Could this be the result of interaction between
`define-obsolete-variable-alias' and `defcustom'? If you've customized
`nnir-method-default-engines', and gnus-search.el contains:

(define-obsolete-variable-alias 'nnir-method-default-engines
  'gnus-search-default-engines "28.1")

(defcustom gnus-search-default-engines '((nnimap . gnus-search-imap)))

Could the customized value of `nnir-method-default-engines' be copied to
`gnus-search-default-engines'?
