Currently new messages are indexed only when starting the search. So you
might want to have some kind of a cronjob executing the searches once a
day or so.

Either use X-TEXT-FAST or X-BODY-FAST search command keys or enable
break-imap-search setting and then you can use standard IMAP clients
(that support server-side searches).
