I've experienced this bug as well. However, it's in debian stable 
(bullseye) with geary 3.38.1-1. Oddly enough, upgrading to (a backport 
of) geary 40.0-7 seems to have fixed the issue.  3.38.1-1 worked fine 
for me for at least a year, and then suddenly I couldn't search any 
more and no amount of restarting seemed to fix it.
