You can search every folder in an account at once. Select the account in
the left window pane and use Search Messages under Advanced in the right
window pane. That brings up the dialog box which defaults to searching
the entire account and all its sub-folders. ;) I never knew it was
there, either, before indigo's question.

The search bar just searches the current folder, can't see any way of
making it do more. The only way I can see to do a more sophisticated
search is "Find" in the "Edit" menu.

Thank you Cliff,
ok sorry about that. Yes there's only one inbox. Do you mean I
would need to use the menu under 'edit' then 'find' to search
subfolders? Is there a way to do this by using the search bar in the
upper right hand corner?

More a general Thunderbird question than an extension specific one.
However, in Thunderbird's search Window if you select search "Inbox"
and select "Search subfolders" this should search all messages (may
take some time though!). Depending on your particular set up you may
have separate inboxes for each account, as far as I know you can
only search one inbox (and all its subfolders) at a time.

I have a lot of folders and I can only search for a message if I
know what folder to look in. How can I search through all folders?
