Seconded. Searching doesn not work with my IMAP folders.
Kmail version 2.0.89 (well, all kde is 4.6 beta 2).
In case it is relevant, Nepomuk is activated, but I'm not sure it's working correctly (I don't remember exactly what use is nepomuk to akonadi/kmail).

Comment 4 Allen Winter 2011-04-11 16:10:40 UTC

adding as a showstopper

Comment 5 Sergio Martins 2011-04-15 17:11:43 UTC

Do you have nepomuk running ?

Comment 6 Thiago Macieira 2011-04-15 17:40:57 UTC

No. It consumes too much CPU time, in addition to what Akonadi already consumes, so I kill it.

Comment 7 Volker Krause 2011-04-16 18:36:21 UTC

In order to have a working search in KMail you need:
- a running Nepomuk server
- the mails you want to search in indexed by the akonadi_nepomuk_email_feeder (a recent Nepomuk and Soprano fixes an issue with massive CPU usage there, improving this from indexing 4 mails/min to ~1000 mails/min)
- an Akonadi server that supports the query interface version of your Nepomuk server (Nepomuk unfortunately is not very good in keeping interface compatibility), for a KDE 4.6 Nepomuk that means an Akonadi 1.5.1 or newer.

Searching without Nepomuk is WONTFIX.

Comment 8 Michał 2011-07-16 18:16:39 UTC

"~1000 mails/min" – that is 16 mails per second. I don't know what unnecessary work it does (syncing disks after each indexed word???), but it seems way too slow.

"Searching without Nepomuk is WONTFIX."

I just realized I need to start searching for another mail client.
