Hans, If it is someone that you frequently check you could make a Smart Folder in Mail. It will automatically keep updated with all correspondence with a contact. You could even have other filters automatically in place.
If you have other information outside of Mail as well, a smart folder in Finder will search everywhere. Mind you, this applies to OS 10.5.x Leopard. Not sure, but seems an easier and one click option than using QS.
