Man page for Mate search tool says:

OPTIONS

--path=PATH
  Set the text of "Look in folder" search option

so presumably (hah!) editing the launcher to

 mate-search-tool --path=/ 

would do what you desire (you have so many of them, though, desires,
some of which are so fastidiously exacting, I fear you can never truly
be satisfied).

But maybe you're like Sanchez with his historically consistent inconsistency, and
your chronic dissatisfaction is your deliberate personal form of satisfaction. 

Haha.
