Without tracing Evo, I can't say which of these is the answer, 
though I suspect it's probably (a). Google obviously does do search 
(duh) and there's no reason why it should do it badly just because 
it's an IMAP connection, even if their IMAP implementation is not 
the best. I don't know how Evo decides whether the server can do 
searching.


        Hi,
I tried to trace it (better know than guess). I invoked a simple "body 
contains evolution" search on a GMail Inbox folder from evolution and 
that was done server-side, as can be seen here:
   H02430 UID SEARCH BODY "evolution"
   * SEARCH 112 116 376 468 748
   H02430 OK SEARCH completed (Success)

I think it depends on the search itself, but the IMAPx tries to search 
as much on the server as it can. Searching in summary headers is left 
for a local search, of course.


        Bye,
        Milan
