Definitely not just you.

Often, though I know exactly the info required to find a message, Thunderbird comes up with no results. I've found that "repairing" the containing mailbox renders the message findable.

Not sure when things got this bad, but I can well recall in the past Thunderbird's search being fast, thorough, and reliable.
