%F in index_format is described in the manual as "author name, or recipient name if the message is from you". simple_search defaults to "~f %s | ~s %s". So, assuming your simple_search is still the default, the only time it normally wouldn't match what %F displays is if the message is from you. If you want to be able to search for the recipient as well, setting simple_search to something like "~L %s | ~s %s" might do what you want. If your current searches aren't matching the sender (i.e. you aren't matching the text displayed by %F for messages sent my someone else), then it sounds like your simple_search may not contain the default "~f" component, or something....
