Solr, Dovecot & macOS / iOS

[James Brown]

I’m thinking of getting Solr working with my Dovecot server. Server is new 6-core Mac Mini, mail store of over 1/2 TB. Mailboxes with 100s of thousands of messages.

But I’m not sure if:

a) it will make enough of a difference and

b) does Mail.app and other mail clients on Macs or iOS devices perform searches on their local copy of mail or does it just send a search request to the server?

I’m guessing the searches are done locally so no point in Solr?

Does anyone know? 

Thanks, James.
