Big Sur Mail search is STILL slower then ever!

It was fixed in Bug Sur 11.2, to a degree, but 11.4 Mail search is UNUSEABLE and 100% needed for business! No excused about IMAP and remote servers; it all worked for years. So this is really a huge problem Apple. Search literally takes 5 minutes to 10 minutes just to start saying that it is seachring! So even the dialogs are bugy and not helpful at all! Once it says searching, it can take seconds to minutes to just pull out your hair and quite Mail!


So please Apple, let's fix this.
