I found out that the Global Search and Indexer wasn't enabled. To check this, go to Preferences -> Click the Advanced Icon at the top -> Under the General tab, make sure the Global Search is enabled under Advanced Configuration. Once you restart the client and attempt a search, it will download and index all your mail (may take quite some time). After all the indexing is done try another search and you should now get results. I had troubles with it just searching at all. I found out that the Global Search and Indexer wasn’t enabled.

This may push the topic a little, but if TB stored its mails in mail-dir format (one mail=one file), we could let 3rd party crawlers - or even the OS - to do the search.
