mutt makes a server-side search when the search operator starts with
"=" instead of "~"; this also means that it is a string search rather
than a regexp search, if I understand correctly this is due to the
IMAP protocol search not supporting regexps.
So e.g. "=s f.o" makes a server-side search for the exact string "f.o"
in the subject, but "~s f.o" makes a client-side search in subject for
f, then any character, then o.
