Ok, so what shall I do to definitly trigger a server side search?
Optimally including subject line's content.

This is also preliminary to debug the server side search later.

I hope I get you right: Those large IMAP accounts used by several
users. They save their mail somewhere in the subfolders. Others will
later want to find such mail by searching.

I ran tests with/without clicking on Get Messages before searching.
In no case these messages were found afterwards searching for the
subject of those stored messages. (Unless local cache was used.)

To sum up:

I'd love to switch from Thunderbird to Evolution for our huge IMAP
accounts. However, I still fail to find a way to get mail search
work yet.

Thank your for the fantastic support so far
