iOS 6 Mail App missing "continue search on server" function?

[HMI]

Is it just me, or did the iOS 6 version of the mail app remove the "continue searching on server" option when a search of downloaded emails doesn't return the desired results. I used that option a lot in iOS 5 to find older emails that were no longer synced onto the device.

If anyone has any suggestions regarding this, I would love to hear them.
Thanks.

Do you use pop or imap? gmail?
I'm wondering if this option is only available for imap or exchange/google?

At the moment, I'm using pop only (not google).

I use both, actually 7 email accounts, mix of all types.

Any guess why this might have disappeared for me?

Can you "search on server" with your POP only accounts, or just imap?

When I had gmail imap, I had this option. Now that I no longer use gmail, and I only have traditional pop, and don't see this option anymore.

Thoughts?

In testing on my in iOS 6, I've ound it to do the search automatic on imap and exchange. No more button to push just at the bottom of the results it shows in light grey checking server. I didn't have anything pop up on my pop3 account.

In case it helps someone else; to see "Continue Search on Server" you may need to be looking at All Mail or Sent.

Just searching the Inbox wont offer the option if you've actually got all the emails which are in the Inbox already downloaded to the device (in the case that you archive older messages).
