Which form of search are you using?  Search Messages, virtual (search) folder, 
or MailView?

For the MailViews: Bug 259914 is about how the text reads "sender" when it 
should read "recipient" -- but the search actually works on recipient for the 
Drafts and Sent folders.  Bug 256545 is about adding "recipient" as an explicit 
selection in addition to "sender".

For a virtual folder, or Search Messages, you can create a Search with
 Sender contains XXX OR
 To contains XXX
and (for virtual folders) save that search over the Inbox and Sent folders.

If you're reporting one of those MailView issues, please mark this bug as a 
duplicate of the appropriate one; if you're reporting an issue with the virtual 
folder issue, and you're satisfied with that response, please mark this bug   
Resolved|WorksForMe.

If you're not satisfied, please provide specific details about the problem.
