Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this issue and so cannot confirm that the search feature is not working at all.
I installed the 'pantheon-mail-bzr' package on Arch linux and could use search. I tried different search terms and got the results almost immediately.
Then I tried the latest Mail from trunk in elementary OS loki which also worked as described above.
Is the issue still present?
In this case could you please add a comment and say what email account you use (gmail, yahoo, ...)?
Thank you for the bug report.
