One way to find the answer to such questions is to use mutt's help 
facility.  Just type ? to bring up a list of the commands available 
from the current menu, then browse or search that list.  In this 
case, searching for "search" would show you

    <Esc>/     search-reverse        search backwards for a regular expression
