If the IMAP4 server receives a SEARCH command with an illegal term, it will raise an unhandled error and never respond to the client

New submission from exarkun <[email protected]>:

This is because search is implemented with dynamic dispatch but without considering the case where there is no `search_` method corresponding to the query term.

This is related to #1977 which encountered the problem when it misinterpreted a message sequence set as an illegal term.
