Is it possible to search in PST in a particular folder for messages that contain certain text in the body, cc, to, from etc and return that list of messages? How fast and flexible is the searching mechanism?

You can extract each message, search it and proceed to the next one (if it does not meet your criteria). Outlook Converter itself only converts the data from .PST into MIME format, it's not assumed to be a full-fledged .PST API.

So the IMAP search feature is not applicable here? I have to implement my own searching mechanism for each email, or is that what the IMAP search method is for?

IMAP search has nothing to do with .PST files. IMAP is a protocol for communicating with a mail server, it's a completely different thing.

All Imap.Search method does is sending a command to the server and returning the response to the application.

You should implement your own .PST search facilities.
