I do this:
      (setq nnir-imap-default-search-key "Imap")

This means it is possible to use raw imap queries, (syntax for the
IMAP search command is described in the IMAP rfc). Then I can issue
queries like

     "from lars"
     "from lars since 20-Sep-2010"
     "from lars since 20-Sep-2010 subject imap"
     "(or from lars from vegard) since 20-Sep-2010 subject imap"
     "(not (or from lars from vegard)) since 20-Sep-2010 subject imap"
     "subject imap body query"
     "header user-agent wanderlust"
