The plan (or at least my plan):
1. Add simple search support to MIMP (DONE).

2. Simplify quicksearch in DIMP by removing 2nd menubar with mailbox  
selectiono/search field selection. (DONE)  quicksearch searches the  
current mailbox only

3. Re-add ability to define the field to search using DIMP  
quicksearch, and make this selection sticky across sessions (DONE).

4. Create a 'Basic' search screen.  This screen has a single input for  
header searches, a single flag dropdown, and a single mailbox search.   
This search will be linked via the search icon in the mailbox header  
in IMP and via the 'Basic Search...' dropdown option in DIMP.   
Additionally, this will be the only search available to non-JS  
browsers (do they still exist?).  Virtual Folders can not be created  
from this screen.

5. Create an 'Advanced' search screen.  This screen will look similar  
to the current search screen, except it will be AJAX-y.  Probably  
drag/drop.  This search will be linked via the Horde_Menu search icon  
in IMP, via the 'Advanced Search...' dropdown option in DIMP, and via  
an 'Advanced Mode' link on the basic search screen.  Virtual Folders  
can be created from this screen.

6. Optimize internal search storage a bit.  Namely, remove saving the  
array of UI data and instead rebuild searches from the contents of the  
query object itself.
