You can't, not with Mutt anyway.

I would suggest using grepmail, a utility for grepping a specific mail
message which matches some criteria.
You could even create some kind of combination of a Mutt macro and a
shell script to get all the results in a single temporary mail folder,
which you can then browse with Mutt. The macro would first run the
shell script, which prompts for the search criteria and then runs
grepmail. The results get placed in a temporary folder. The shell
script then exits, and the Mutt macro could continue by switching to
the temporary folder that just got created.
Hope this helps,
Mikko
