1) It shows me two search fields and irritatingly I need them both. One is the global search in the index. The other searches linearly per folder without an index.
2) If you disable local caching for IMAP, it does not index the emails, so the global search reports nothing. (if you enable caching it regularly goes out of sync with the server and behaves weird)
3) Linear search through an email folder in 2015? It is slow, for full text search.
Altogether, no fast full text search in Thunderbird for me. Compare that to Gmail, where it works great.
