It's a bit hard to explain but the search function in the Folder view searches the MPD database by tag=value where tag is an id3 metadata tag for example Artist, Album, Title, etc. MPD also support the pseudo tag 'any' for searches.
This type of search works perfectly for tagged song files but radio stations are actually playlist files (.pls) located in the RADIO folder. Since playlist files can't be assigned tags the search function in Folder view is not really useful for finding radio stations.
In the Radio, Tag and Album views however the search function performs a text search on the list of displayed items and thus is useful for finding radio stations, albums or artists.
