Since your old marks are memorized commands, you should be able to just
unselect all the articles (type ":-") and search to your hearts content.
When you're done, exit the group and re-enter and all your memorized
thread-selects will get re-applied. Another solution (that assumes that
there is no overlap between the two sets of selected articles) would be
to mark your articles as to-return (":M"), select and read for a while,
and then yank the suspended articles back via "Y" (or by exiting the
group).
If you're cautious, you might want to stop trn from looking for new
articles (via "&-K") so that newly-arriving articles don't auto-select
themselves while you're reading the things that you found via search.
