The lack of IMAP compliance isn't really as serious as you seem to  
think. Almost all MUAs work just fine with the lack of it. GMail's  
IMAP search is also not IMAP compliant. Several other servers' search  
is neither. Apparently there are some little used MUAs (or users) that  
really want the substring searching to work, but I doubt you'll  
actually find any such users.
