[FYI: I'll be replying to all of Bron's imap4rev2 messages with the "official" Dovecot response.  Don't worry - the feedback is from people much smarter than me - I'm mainly in charge of being the messenger!]

SEARCHRES is already implemented by Dovecot (has been for awhile).  No objection to including in imap4rev2.

Only question - similar to Chris' - is what the usage is on the client side?  SEARCHRES doesn't seem useful for non-pipelining clients, which is the way the vast majority of IMAP libraries are implemented, at least the ones I have looked at.  e.g. code that programatically calls a search() function, then uses the response from search() and does a fetch() function or whatever.

FWIW, I included a SEARCHRES example in PREVIEW draft in hopes of demonstrating how this extension can be practically useful.  See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-extra-imap-fetch-preview-00#page-8
