How can I use the server side search with Thunderbird
I have a mail server that gives search results from email attachments, and works very well.
However, when I search in Thunderbird, email results are not complete compared to those from the mail server itself. How can I ask Thunderbird to submit the search query to the mail server ?

Does the mail server have access to folders that are not accessible to Thunderbird? Check you settings to see if there are folders to which Thunderbird is not subscribed.
Yes, of course, I can see the emails.
I just tried with Evolution, and it correctly returns the email for a word in a PDF attachment as well.
Does Thunderbird supports IMAP server-side search at all ?
Did you just change the issue? You indicated a search for a word within a PDF attachment, not a search for a word within an email message. To my knowledge, Thunderbird does not search PDFs.
Apparently, i am not clear.
I want thunderbird to send the search command to the imap server, not search locally.
For instance, when an email on the server contains an attachment with the word "lemonade", the command IMAP SEARCH BODY "lemonade" returns the index of this email, and it is then presented in the search results. It works in Evolution, for instance.
