Yesterday, I found it working on my iPhone4 & that’s the reason today I tried to search some solution for deleting same old cache data of SMS & finally got the following solution, which worked well using iSSH App. for me.
I deleted following files from folder /var/mobile/Library/Spotlight/com.apple.MobileSMS:-
updates.SMSSearch.spotlight
SMSSearchdb.sqlitedb
SMSSearchidx.spotlight
And then I restarted my iPhone and everything from the search gone… it is showing only those SMS which are currently actually in my SMS Inbox. J Worked Fine … J

EASIEST FIX: You can download iPhoneBrowser and navigate to private/var/mobile/library/spotlight and delete the cash file. Mine was named updates.SMSSearch.spotlight Make sure you throw away the backup after you’re sure it worked without causing problems with your search function. This file isn’t only bad for cheaters, if you ever want to sell your iPhone unlocked you may givr away sensutive info.

robert’s suggestion points to the clue, but is only halfway right…
You need to delete SMSSearchdb.sqlitedb and SMSSearchidx.spotlight for this to happen.
They will be recreated later with fresher data
