So the Qt5 version of Akonadi will have search, and there is no need to

in order for search to be available again?

I do think its good to have a feature complete, i.e. with search, Akonadi 
for Plasma 5, *before* Akonadinext is ready. Thats the sole point I am 
trying to make.

Cause I do think that taking a working full text mail search and index 
away from users for a longer time is such is not a wise idea. I know I 
certainly would miss it. A lot. (Well and I know I can help contribute to 
make that happen, but first I want to get started with the bug triaging to 
get some more experience.)
