Hi Nate,

Sorry to hear that you are running into troubles.

Yes, IMAP search is meant to be fully supported. Lots of people use it at 
Fastmail every day (using the Xapian backend). Now we need to find out what's 
causing it not to work on your installation.

That's not what this (closed) issue says. If you scroll right down to the end, 
you'll see that we fixed that issue early this year, as we do want to continue 
squat backend support. Probably this fix is not enough for your particular 
issue.

This is what needs to get sorted out first. conversations.db became a very 
central database in Cyrus. It should be indexed built in seconds, 14 hours is 
absolutely insane. Did you reconstruct your mailboxes after the upgrade? Are 
you using the twoskip backend for conversations.db (you can set that in 
imapd.conf).

Cheers,
Robert
