I have found claws ability to search remote folders to be a good
interface to the capabilities in the IMAP protocol itself (which are
limited).

For local search, personally I've setup full-text desktop search and I
like that approach - it searches not only every local email but
everything else too (if you want).  And no matter what the we code
into claws, we probably won't match the speed and flexibility of
purpose-built search software like xapian (recoll/linux) or tracker
(linux) or lucene (docfetcher/win32).
