Bump priority. The search screen has to be rewritten for more than 
just UI purposes.  The underlying search object has been changed 
(Horde_Imap_Client_Search_Query) so the code should be refactored 
accordingly.  Additionally, the Select flag menu has been removed from 
the IMP mailbox screen because it is simply an inefficent and 
duplicative way of performing a search that should be instead done on 
the search screen.

Idea for new Search GUI:

I do not propose to allow arbitrary nesting/parentheses, as the GUI would
become very complex (drag and drop for some indention pops into my mind).
You pointed this out as well. However, if you have two fixed and,
therefore, only three logical operators, the GUI should not be too
complicated:

Search Criteria (O OR  X AND)
     Criteria 1
     Criteria 2
     Criteria 3

X  Match Criteria AND Flags
O  Match Criteria OR  Flags

Search Flags (O OR  X AND)
     Flag 1
     Flag 2
     Flag 3

(with O unselected and X default option)
