When searching for multiple terms at once ("any of") with
Thunderbird/Dovecot (using FTS Squat indexes), it takes much longer (not double the
time, or a bit more than that, but really much, much longer) than when I search for
only one term.

Yea, OR isn't supported by FTS plugin yet.. I had hoped no-one would
notice it ;) I guess I should do something about it. Requires a lot
more complexity to the code though..
