Yes, given that it seems as if Sauron was actively looking for Thrįin, hence him being pursued "as soon as he was abroad", one might imagine that his immediate captors knew that he was a person of special interest and took him straight to their master without delay. While a lesser prisoner might have been robbed first, Sauron may even have given special orders for Thrįin not to have been. Note that Grishnįkh had orders for the captured hobbits, whom Sauron expected to have the One, that "The prisoners are NOT to be searched or plundered." While the recovery of the Seven was not as important as the recovery of the One, it's possible that similar orders were given about any high-priority targets. Sauron may have had it declared to the forces pursuing Thrįin that any important-looking Dwarf they captured was to be brought to him immediately without being searched.
It might also be possible that, given his mistrust of his servants and his need to keep his intelligence close, that Sauron also forbade his servants from communicating with Thrįin even after he was finished with him; he was to be imprisoned and ignored.
