I don't know much about Squirrelmail configuration, but SEARCH command
should specify character set if using non-ascii characters in search
string. Otherwise Dovecot will just try to search them from the mails
without any charset conversions.

So correct way would have been something like:

SEARCH CHARSET cyrillic ALL SUBJECT {10}

Maybe someone in this list knows more about Squirrelmail..
