This turned out to be my own fault because of a foolish mistake I made when testing. Dovecot actually works fine on all the search queries I mentioned, even in version 2.1.7. My apologies for the noise on the list. (My mistake was that when switching from Squat to Lucene, I didn't remove a local patch that prevented FTS from being used for header searches, because I thought the patch was only affecting Squat. That patch was to workaround what I reported in <http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-May/096360.html>. But the patch also affected Lucene.) -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies, http://www.tigertech.net/
