I've found it to be a source of some confusion to users.  Ironically, the only
place that it has proved useful is in building contact lists, where you can
find everyone you want to add to a contact list incrementally, then add them
all on one fell swoop.  Personally, I'd like to see the incremental search
facility re-appear in a limited fashion in a sort of minisearch window, that
can be used to build lists, ala the way the addressbook works in the IMP
compose screen, to build receipient of a message.
