It appears that the system is operating as designed. According to
https://www.fastmail.com/help/receive/search.html:
Quote:
By default, all folders except shared folders, Spam and Trash will be searched. If you are currently in a shared folder, Spam or Trash, then just that folder will be searched instead

I believe it is possible to build the saved search you are looking for using Advanced Search syntax.Refer to the section on
Searching particular folders in the reference I cited above. You will need something like
Code:
(in:<folder1> OR in:<folder2> ...) <other search terms>
Expect it to take a while to get this working right. Good luck!
