Well, it is a bit old but I don't think there were bugs related to SEARCH. You could of course try with a newer version, it's easy to try with compiled source tree even without installing, like: MAIL=mbox:/tmp/mail src/imap/imap And put your test mailbox to /tmp/mail/inbox. If the problem isn't Dovecot, it's probably something in your mails that causes it not to match.
