It's considered correct that Mutt treats messages hidden by thread
collapsing the same way it treats ones hidden by a 'limit' -- as though
they didn't exist.  So if you limit messages, then search, you won't get
results from messages not in the limit, and the same if you collapse
threads.

It's debatable whether this should be -- it makes sense in some ways, since
you could hurt yourself with a delete-pattern that affects collapsed
threads when you didn't realize it would, but doesn't make sense in other
ways, such as your current example.  No one has suggested/implemented
something better, though.
