Searching or "find" ing messages

I'm using Eudora to read my email from an IMAP server. I don't do a lot of folders, choosing instead to keep most of my messages in my Inbox.

I do a lot of searching of the headers to pick out a particular message.

Now OE seems to do those searches much quicker, and my theory is that it's checking only the headers, not the body of the message.

Eudora seems to be checking the body of the message even if the header is only specified.

In addition, it also seems to be checking sub-folders below Inbox, even though I'm wanting Eudora to search only Inbox.

Lastly, I'm using search strings I know exist, but I'm not getting any results.

Can anyone tell me more about the peccadilloes Eudora's "find" utility has with IMAP?
