If this on IMAP search speed will depends on server speed even if you have full cached copy of all messages, this is know bug.
Local folders searching pretty fast even in entire message mode.

I think this may be similar to bug 380898, same 1.5, linux, only adds loaclized version. And may relate to bug 383895 which has TB2 and compares to Outlook

I would kindly ask the reporter and others to confirm for newer versions.

No recent useful new information from the reporter and others, resolving incomplete.

Please retest with the latest supported Thunderbird 2.0.0.x / Shredder nightlies.
