[Dovecot] Disable/patch iOS7 Full Body Search

As mentioned in other posts [1], iOS7 Mail App uses a multi-folder
full body search by default. As to my knowledge, this behavior cannot
be disabled within the Mail App.

Is there any way to disable/patch this behavior on the server side? My
users complain that searching now takes 'forever'. They were happy
with the old behavior (searching From/To/Subject only).

I do NOT want to setup/maintain a dovecot FTS. I just want to have the
'old' behavior.
