How do I search for folders in Mac Mail?

Older versions of Mac Mail used to show mailbox folder in the search bar. In updated versions, this has disappeared? Is there are a way I can tweak something in settings and have this back? I create and manage MANY folders and subfolders in the inbox and this function was very valuable.

As soon as you start typing in the search bar (magnifying glass) a bolded "Search: All" *should* slide out into view just under the toolbar to the left. You can then select "ALL" (when selected it turns black) or whatever other mailbox you want to search.
