The problem is that Dovecot FTS plugin doesn't currently support the
search "OR" parameter. So you're probably searching for "foo OR bar"
fields, which doesn't work. There's no reason why it couldn't work,
other than that fixing it isn't a high priority for me currently.. It
could become though. :)
