The list of dropdown items of the search box seems to be fixed in the code.
Let the user modify these items
That's not going to happen.
or (maybe better) add own search types.
I'm not excited about this either.  Currently, we allow users to 
create virtual searches/folders on the search page.  This request is 
essentially asking for a UI to be able to list a series of headers 
they want to search.  Not only is this not easily done given the 
current UI/UX of the search screen, a user would ALSO have to have 
knowledge of which search fields are text searches as opposed to flag 
searches or combination searches.

That's a lot of UI issues to deal with for a feature that would have 
little use.  Unless someone is willing to fund this development, this 
enhancement request will probably be rejected.

Maybe a user has special needs or often uses for special criteria (in 
my case, i want search for "from/to/cc/subject" all the time). The 
user could use the advanced search, build the pattern without to set a 
search term (e.g. keep the fields for subject and recepeint empty) and 
save this instead as a search folder as a search pattern for the 
dropdown list.

hope i could explain it with my english ;)

The idea springs from another enhancement report, where my initial 
wish obviously makes no sense for the broad masses.
