How to search Desktop Thunderbird with multiple accounts for email message that were sent/arrived during a specific date range, a "Global" search which covers multiple accounts. All of the guidance I have found online result with me needing to pick a particular account.

I'm afraid you're out of luck. As you noticed, Global Search can't use date parameters, Quick Filter and Expression Search NG, only work on folders. "Search Messages" (Ctrl+Shift+F) can search whole accounts, including sub-folders, but not multiple ones.

Curious limitation confirmed, it seems. Unless there's some real magic yet to be shared.
