Description
Describe the bug
When I search a Japanese word (kanji or kana) to find emails that contain the word, K-9 lists only the mails that have the word in the email title. If the word is only in the email body, K-9 does not list those mails in the results. K-9 used to find also those emails in the previous versions.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Search a japanese word that is available in the body of an email
Expected behavior
It should find the emails that contain the word (kanji or kana) in the email body. However, it gives an empty result.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- K-9 Mail version: 5.8
- Android version: 11

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the Japanese body search on K-9 Mail 5.8 and trace the email-search entry point and its body indexing or query handling. Done means Japanese words in message bodies appear in results, not only matching subjects.
