That doesn't help, though, if the IMAP client has a lousy search form though, 
does it? What IMAP client has a search field to search all folders, all 
messages, available from the default "view"?

I don't dispute that - as long as the UI allows you access to the 
functionality, and as long as the Indexing implemented is a GOOD one. Just 
because something has an index, doesn't mean it's fast, just like someone 
with years of Industry Experience doesn't guarantee they're better for a job 
than the next chap with less experience.
