Hi, I hope it won't sound odd, but let's start with something simple: when you look at the top, above the message list, it says: Show: [ All Messages ] Search: [ your term ] in [ Current Folder ] verify that the 'in' part is 'Current Folder'. All the other options there can mean constructing a search folder and fill it with other folders, which can, in turn, mean a lot of work. Definitely more than if searching in the current folder only. Otherwise things depend on various aspects, like what account type this is about, whether you are online or offline (because some accounts can search in message body by asking the server for the response), and so on. You can also try to run evolution from a terminal, to see whether it claims any issue there.
