The search queries would be more intensive as it has to process each
record retrieved vs a just retrieving all the records.
The reason I have suggested the search block option is because in it's
current state, 2.0.1 + mysql, the BODY search is already useless, timing
out each time, so instead of having a feature that nets only negative
gain to my server load with zero return, it's heck a lot safer to stop
serving searches altogether.

Is there really a gain for this feature?
The IMAP client has to make a search,
preferably on the server.
If the server lacks these capabilities will the client back off and
download all messages and do the search itself.
We actually do not gain anything, the database must in these cases serve
the content of all the messages down to the client. This is as expensive
as doing a linear search in the database.
