You can do this currently, although its a little extra work than it would be with just clicking 'expand selection':
  • Make sure Clear selection on search is disabled from Tools -> Options -> Results.
  • Search for the path of interest, example: c:\folder\
  • Select all results.
  • You can now change the search and all the sub-files and sub-folders will remain selected.
I will consider an option to expand selection / restore selection option.

Thanks for the suggestion.
