In that case, my local copy of sup (v0.11 on ruby 1.8.7) is just behaving
differently from yours for some reason.  If I search for text using ‘/’,
subsequently hitting ‘n’ moves to the next instance.  However, if I hit
something like ‘j’ or ‘k’ then the search is unhighlighted and ‘n’ switches back
to its “Jump to next open message” function.

The only other thing I can think of is that when I run a search in a buffer that has
no results, ‘n’ never changes from its “Jump to next open message” function.

In any case, if somebody more knowledgeable than me gets to your question,
hopefully they can shed some light on how one can do a search (in a thread
buffer) of an entire thread's content, and not merely the content of the open
messages.
