M-s is just an interface to the Emacs search engine. So it is quite unintelligent. V C text is the better way to go. We also need to get V C text to work with external search engines (IMAP servers and mairix etc.) We will eventually recode M-s to work with virtual folders. That will make it a bit more useful.
