In the search view it does exactly this.

In the show view it only modifies the messages that are currently
visible. This is to make sure you don't accidentally archive things that
have arrived after refreshing the buffer. I think this is safest.

I suppose the point in the difference is that in search view you're
archiving the thread without seeing the messages anyway. In show view
you have had enough interest in the thread to open it, and you're making
the decision based on the messages you've seen.
