This sounds like a good idea to optimize search times, but this is more
of a feature request and I suspect we should avoid an Ubuntu delta for
it. Would you mind opening a bug/feature request against Thunderbird on
Bugzilla for this? That way the Thunderbird developers can determine if
this can be incorporated into their search algorithm, and if it would
benefit the majority of users, as it's possible the current behavior is
based on usage data showing that, on average, users search for old mail
more often than recent mail.

Title:
  thunderbird email search should begin with the most recent email then
  progress to the oldest (what the user is searching for is more likely
  to be in recent rather than older emails)

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This becomes more problematic the more email a user has to search.
  With a large account, this can result in very long search times, which
  users are more likely to understand if the email is old. If it is a
  recent email, users expect to see the search result more quickly.
