It is my understanding that the Outlook for Mobile app synchronizes your data from your mail server to a 3rd party server, which the client then connects to in order to download the data.
I found a number of reports of similar issues posted online, there may be some helpful information in these posts.

If you are still having issues:
When the client attempts to search do the users get an error? What do they see happening?
When the clients attempt a search, what do the IMAP logs on the MDaemon server show is happening? Is there any activity?
Do you have the same issue if you use the native email client on the phone to connect to MDaemon using IMAP?
