searching across folders using mutt

According to the man page for notmuch:

   Mail storage that uses mbox format, (where one mbox file
   contains many messages), will not work with notmuch.  If
   that's how your mail is currently stored, it is recommended
   you first convert it to maildir format with a utility such 
   as mb2md before running notmuch setup .

Is there a solution for searching across folders for those of us whose
e-mail is stored in mbox rather than maildir format?
