if, in fact, solr's the better performance solution, i hope that the IMAP compliance might, somehow, get addressed -- either from the Dovecot side, the MUAs, or both.
The lack of IMAP compliance isn't really as serious as you seem to think. Almost all MUAs work just fine with the lack of it. GMail's IMAP search is also not IMAP compliant. Several other servers' search is neither. Apparently there are some little used MUAs (or users) that really want the substring searching to work, but I doubt you'll actually find any such users.
