Thats strange, mine works ok, I wonder do you use virtuoso to index your mails?, I dont know if kmail uses that to search. to search through the current folder you should have the quick search bar activated in settings, any word in that will show threads/posts that contain that word anywere in them. and regards the From search not working, aren't most emails from a mailing list, not specific people, if you search "anywere in message" and put a persons name, it should find what your looking for.
