Imap search is pretty weird -- it wants you to specify the search key
ahead of time. If you just use GG and then type a string, it will search
all headers and the body. You can use a C-u prefix to GG to select which
key to search on (including "imap" to write the queries yourself), or
set nnir-imap-default-search-key to a different key (again, including
"imap").
Kind of weird.
