The single-letter modifiers are static, but you can use any header or
MM-generated pseudo-header in the search field. So "#any-address:
example.com" will find any mail you've exchanged with anyone in
example.com.
Another option: quit MM, open Terminal, and enter this command:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope
'#any-address'
Then when you launch MM, the default search from the search box will
be what MM refers to as "Any Address" which I believe includes all of
the standard address-list headers.
Interesting! Thanks for this suggestion and the others you gave.
Finally, you could modify the default behavior of the "Search" toolbar
button instead. Click that and you get a search bar where you can set
up any sort of search you like, e.g. "Any Address contains" with an
empty search value. To make that search the default, use the menu
command Edit->Find->Use As Default Search. The next time you click the
Search toolbar button, the search bar will come up with the search you
set.
A great option - haden't thought of the possibility of adding the Search
button.
What about the 'a' modifier, for "Any address header" as listed in the
search syntax documentation?
This is of course exactly what I'm looking for. I've read the list of
static modifiers several times but apparently missed this. Thanks!

I prefer this:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultSearchScope
'#commonplus'
That's the "Common Headers or Text" specifier, which means you'll also
find mentions of the domain in the body of messages.

This « Search » button seems by default to search within the
current mailbox (if I am correct). Is it possible to have it search by
default in « All messages »?
The Search box can be made to search « All message subparts », but
then you don’t have all the options of the Search button. To be
honest I am not sure I use correctly these 2 ways of searching (Search
button and Search box). I attach a screenshot of my configuration.
