Hi David,

I believe the only thing that really moved server-side was the OR
logic (or was it AND?). I’d be curious to see what is so slow on Ken’s
IMAP server.

I don’t really understand Archlinux packaging, but it seems the change
Ken is referring to is:

  https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/wanderlust&id=6516664e9a8423f2749316cab302b257fa1cefba

and the packaging switched from a rather old version of WL (found
here: https://github.com/p5n/wanderlust) to one built from the github
wanderlust/wanderlust master branch. This previous version does seem
to not include my search changes.

best, Erik
