        Hi,
the answer is here:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2018-December/msg00018.html

To add to that: there is a setting to keep stored for offline only part
of the folder, like several recent weeks/months/... Which means not
every message can be downloaded locally.

Having an optimization of "whole folder is stored for offline", then
avoid server-side searching, can be done. It might be eventually easy.
Before you file a bug for it [1], could you try:
a) File->Work offline
b) wait until evolution is offline
c) do the search.
Will it be quicker? Will it end with any error message? If not for
both, then I'd say file a bug. Also verify that in online the search
will be slow:
d) clear the search
e) File->Work online
f) wait until evolution is fully online
g) do the search.

        Thanks and bye,
        Milan
