I don't have Mavericks installed yet (lack of free time mostly -- have it 
downloaded but not installed) so this is 10.8.x and earlier on all my OS X 
machines.

I start typing and it progressively starts limiting what it will search for.  
I've typed "apple.com" and had it limit me to message body only in some 
instances.  And this is on all my OS X machines, not just one, where I've seen 
this.  I've literally been unable to find through a search field entry a mail I 
was looking for from an apple.com address.  But I found it just scanning the 
mail list for that account (so I know it was there).  This has happened often 
to me, looking for various emails that I know are there, but Apple Mail reduces 
the choices to just message body (it starts with sender and subject and 
variations but as I type in more, ends up with just message body).

It has been a few weeks or more since I last had the issue so maybe the last 
10.8.x update I installed fixed it.  I have had it relatively recently and with 
some versions of 10.8.x.

trying tonight to reproduce has not been successful so maybe it is fixed 
afterall.   My blood pressure has gone up in the relative recent past on this 
so if fixed, it was recently fixed.

I'll try the Macbook tomorrow as it is probably a point release behind.

No clue if you can live search on random headers but being able to specify a 
custom header in the rules section has been there forever, if I am 
understanding what you are talking about.  I've been keying off of some custom 
headers for spam detection since at least 10.5.
