You can change this in your ~/evolution/searches.xml file.
If you have any saved searches, they are on top of that file in the
<rule grouping="any" source="incoming"> section. Skip them.
The searches options for the Search dropdown box are defined in the
following <rule grouping="any" source="demand"> sections, where order
matters for the display. Just change the oder, that means, set the
entire block
<rule grouping="any" source="demand">
<title>Message contains</title>
...
</rule>
before the block containing "Subject contains" as <title> content.

If you wanna customize this site-wide (takes only affect for new users
AFAIK) see /usr/share/evolution/1.4/default_user/searches.xml.
Have fun...
