Oh I would hate that and I really don't think it would make searching
any quicker and would slow everything down.  I have some massive
folders that are not usually searched for anything so aren't cached -
it would frustrate me no end if I happen to have searched for something
and change folders, for it to then to start downloading everything.

My folders are also very specific in what they hold - a search in one
folder would just not be applicable to another. And I also quite like
the fact that a search in a folder is sticky - I can look for
something when replying to another email and know the same search
results will be there even if I look for something different in another
folder.

Your use case of not knowing where an email might be is exactly why
there is the "Current Account" option in the search.
