%F in index_format is described in the manual as "author name, or
recipient name if the message is from you".
simple_search defaults to "~f %s | ~s %s".
So, assuming your simple_search is still the default, the only time it
normally wouldn't match what %F displays is if the message is from you.
If you want to be able to search for the recipient as well, setting
simple_search to something like "~L %s | ~s %s" might do what you want.
If your current searches aren't matching the sender (i.e. you aren't
matching the text displayed by %F for messages sent my someone else),
then it sounds like your simple_search may not contain the default "~f"
component, or something....
