Assuming that Ubuntu some.recent.version.number.I.guess ships an
Evolution version higher than 0.12, the answer is Yes:
Evolution renders HTML mail (now even with CSS not ignored anymore!),
and the mail composer provides basic HTML support which will turn into
gorgeous amazing HTML support in Evolution 3.14 yet to be released.

You might want to try both and see what better fits your needs.

Searching for a word in a message across folders has worked well for me
for local mail. For remote mail it can be rather slow. 
No idea what "rudimentary" means here and I don't think that judgemental
terms are helpful when you are after discussing technical functionality.
