Thunderbird Search for Starred messages
How can I search ALL my accounts and ALL their multiple folders for Starred messages in one search?

This only works on one mail account at a time, not searching all accounts.
Create a virtual folder over multiple accounts as follows:
- run the search on one account
- click Save as Search Folder
- fill in a Name and location
- click Choose...
- select the folders to be searched and close that dialog
- click Create

Per account it really the best I can suggest The example uses the local folders account
Ctrl+Shift+F
Thanks for the suggestion. This only works on one mail account at a time, not searching all accounts. I tried Local and Server options. Perhaps a feature for the future?

Thanks Wayne. Much appreciated workaround. Still think it would be a good feature if there was a simple 'All Accounts' or 'All Folders' You method has the advantage of being able to not include folders such as Deleted, Junk and Archive,
