Why do you have X[1..2] inside a list? Remember that X[1..2] is actually 
parsed to subscript(X, [1..2]), so what you have is

ic:search([subscript(X, [1..2])], ...)

and subscript/2 requires explicit handling (by calling subscript/3) to 
convert it to the list of array elements you expect, otherwise 
subscript/2 is just treated as a structure.

In your case, search/6 expects the first argument to be a collection,
including array "expressions" like X[1..2], so

ic:search(X[1..2], ...)

should work, but search/6 does not expect a list of collections in the 
first argument, which is what [X[1..2]] is, and so does not parse this 
correctly, i.e. it leaves X[1..2] as it is, as subscript(X, [1..2]) and 
this is an invalid argument for indomain/1.
