For me the issue was that I had somehow enabled
the "Filter messages by: Body" option. With
this active, the search took a very long time
and appeared to be non-responsive.

Fixed by simply typing a character in the
filter box to get the ""Filter messages by:"
options to appear and deselecting
the "Body" option.
