Hi Nate,
Sorry to hear that you are running into troubles.

Long story short: does Cyrus 3 offer any IMAP level search optimizations that actually work vs older Cyrus versions? If so can you point me to docs or a guide to configure them. If it does not work then stop reading here.
Yes, IMAP search is meant to be fully supported. Lots of people use it at Fastmail every day (using the Xapian backend). Now we need to find out what's causing it not to work on your installation.
I eventually came across this:Which basically confirms what I saw, ok squatter can't be used anymore. Not the end of the world for me. I'm just curious here.
That's not what this (closed) issue says. If you scroll right down to the end, you'll see that we fixed that issue early this year, as we do want to continue squat backend support. Probably this fix is not enough for your particular issue.
So I thought my next step would be to build conversation dbs, before I could index with Xapian ? So I started that process yesterday and after ~14 hours it still had not completed. I looked at the files that were open and it was stuck on the first mailbox. There are only 29 messages in that mailbox and it was churning on something there for 14 hours on a very fast server. No errors just doing something.
This is what needs to get sorted out first. conversations.db became a very central database in Cyrus. It should be indexed built in seconds, 14 hours is absolutely insane. Did you reconstruct your mailboxes after the upgrade? Are you using the twoskip backend for conversations.db (you can set that in imapd.conf).
Cheers,
Robert
