How to mark all Search Messages results as read?

Once I run a search using the Search Messages window, how can I batch mark the >2000 resulting emails as read? I'm using Thunderbird 78 on a Mac running macOS 10.11 El Capitan.

Thunderbird's Search Messages window (which is not at tab) returns the correct list of emails from many mailboxes. I can mark each INDIVIDUAL email as read by clicking the green dot in the search result's "Sort by Read" column. However, I have not found a way to mark as read a GROUP of emails, or all the emails in the search results. How do I do that?

(In Eudora, emails in a Search list behaved like emails in a mailbox, and all the usual controls worked. Within Thunderbird 78's Global Search window, the M command does not mark emails as read either individually or in groups, and pull-down menus and their commands are unavailable.)

Background: I'm a Thunderbird newbie, and a Eudora power user, doing cleanup after migrating 20 years of Eudora email in ~250 mailboxes to Thunderbird 78 via Mac Mail. Marking 2000 emails as read will be a 5-minute fix if I can get batch "mark as read" to work from the Search Messages window. (I would use a filter if I could batch filter my mailboxes. Unfortunately, I've only been able to make filters work by selecting one mailbox at a time. Running a filter on a folder containing mailboxes or subfolders does nothing. Filtering 250 mailboxes individually is gonna be slow.)

(edited to correct terminology from Global Search (tab) to Search Messages (window), which is what I am using.)

I found a workaround: save the search as a folder, then use the folder's interface to mark messages as Read. Clunky, but it works.

In the Global Search tab, click 'Show results as list' at the top, then in the new tab, select the messages (Ctrl+A to Select All), then press R to mark as read.

My apologies, @sfhowes, I used the wrong terminology (now corrected). I was in the Search Messages window, not the Global Search tab as I originally stated. Unfortunately neither M nor R commands work in the messages list in the Search Messages window.
