IMAP search on mobile devices doesn't work

I'm not sure whether anything can be done about this, but has anyone else found that doing a search on runbox using your iphone (or in my case windows phone) doesn't work very well? iPad as well...

Basically if you do a search and the email is cached on your device, then it's all fine, but if you need to go to the server, it either doesn't work or takes so long you give up...?

This should also improve with our new IMAP software which we are rolling out shortly, as it has better support for indexing and caching on the server.
