Thunderbird.  Maybe all MUAs?  Usually with smartly designed MUAs body searches
are left to the IMAP server to perform.  On standard TB, in the absence of
about:config hacks, one cannot run a body search on an IMAP folder unless you
check the "Run search on server" box.  Anything else is a header search, and
headers are already indexed by TB for pretty much everything.  TB doesn't index
IMAP message bodies, _unless_ you have IMAP folders synchronized locally and are
running in offline mode.  In the offline case your search will utilize a local
index of message bodies.
