        Hi,
Evolution itself doesn't call AT-SPI on its own, that would be odd. It
looks like this is done on the WebKit side, as you said, which is out
of Evolution hands. I do not see why that would block the search
though, at least the message list should change accordingly. Evo may
tell WebKit to highlight the matched word in the message body, which
may or may not be related to the AT-SPI call. I never noticed a real
difference between "Message Contains" and "Body contains", even I know
there is some.

What is your evolution version, please? There had been done some
changes in the search around 3.36.3, which had various regressions.

By the way, what does

    $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility

return? If it's "true", try to turn it off with:

   $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility false

There's surely a GUI option somewhere, though no idea where your
desktop environment stores it, neither which desktop environment you
use.

        Bye,
