There is no hidden setting. The A and B answers by Edward above are the 
best I can offer you. It is actually possible to create new toolbar 
items, but the mailbox search related selectors are currently hard-coded 
in behavior. This is unlikely to change unless (until) I some day revamp 
the entire search interface.

(I got the opposite question when it didn't work like this a long time 
ago.) Searching is a special mode. When leaving this mode MailMate 
returns to the starting point (by jumping back in history). This 
includes returning to the original mailbox. It works for me, but I know 
users have many different ways of using the search mode (including never 
closing it).
