However, whenever I run a search thru thunderbird (searching the from/to/subject/body fields),
I think Thunderbird does this search internally, not via IMAP.
You could test by opening the Advanced Search window (CTRL-SHIFT-F or Edit > Find > Search Messages), check the box to 'Run search on server', make sure the right account is selected, then perform a search...
There are 2 bugs open for Thunderbird dealing with server side IMAP searches, please feel free to go vote for one or both of them:
Main one:

and one that is tangentially related:
