I suggest to all that have a problem with kmail searching that they try mairix,
it is way faster than kmail's seaching in any event and dead easy to use - you
do need to to configure it first:

(1) install
(2) make the config file ~/.mairix here is mine:

base=/home/XXXX/Mail
database=~/.mairixdatabase
maildir=*
omit=searches*
mfolder=searches

(3) index the files (doesn't take long) by just running mairix
(4) search from the command line eg
mairix b:mysearchterm
(5) find the results in the searches folder in kmail
(6) mairix to reindex files (or mairix -F to do this faster but plain mairix is
instant for me).

It doesn't do regexps unfortunately but it seems to work reasonably well and is
more reliable at finding mails than kmail's search (when it worked).
