After some research, I found out that ~$ does the job, and I could
make a macro like
"<root-message><search>~$<enter>"
One tiny inconvenience is that if current message is threaded but collapsed,
then the macro will work on the next message instead of on the current one.

I think i can solve this in two ways,
1. do "<uncollapse-if-collpased>" then apply the macro
 - there seems no way to uncollapse but toggle
2. make search go into collapsed message.
 - search is done on only visible message by default.

So what could be a workaround for me?
