Sounds pretty normal to me. There's no way to search IMAP messages locally if you haven't downloaded them yet. Headers will be downloaded automatically, but unlike with POP, the rest of the message will stay on the server undownloaded until you need to retrieve a copy, and you'd need to do that to search them.
