We tried to move to xapian, but we found it much slower than squatter, both indexing and searching.
That's why we're stuck on latest 2.x.
I feel that from 3.2 to 3.4 a refactoring has been made to the search engine code, thus killing the original code that automatically added unindexed emails applying the same filter.
Also beware that folders without a cyrus.squat (never indexed) will never return any result.
If we're able to solve the bug above, then we may fix this last behaviour by letting code search unindexed emails when the squat file is not present.
At the moment, fixing the missing squat file code, would result in an full listing at any search.

Hello, I was just about to report the same.
I recently upgraded from Debian 3.2.6-2+deb11u2 -> 3.6.1-4+deb12u1 and
ran into this issue. We are using search_engine: squat, and did not have
this problem on 3.2.6.
We are considering switch to xapian, not only to solve this problem, but
also failing squatter on some mailboxes
(https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/4336). but I'd like to
know if this behavior is specific to squat engine or not. I do not want
to get through the hassle of setting up xapian, just to run into the
same problems.
Also I thought rolling mode is only for Xapian, but now looking at docs
and your report - is it available for classic squat too?
