Sounds like you're talking about the quick filter bar, which you can
also toggle on and off from the menu bar by going into View -> Toolbars.
I'm using Thunderbird on Linux with Orca, and when I shift tab from my
in box, I hear "Filter these messages Control+shift+k" and end up in a
straight edit field. Just start to type what you want to search for and
the list of displayed messages will change as you type each character to
just those messages that contain the string you're typing.
