Have you tried EasyFind??
It can find anything on your drive, just give it the text. You can set it to search contents only, invisible files and folders, titles, wildcards, etc.?
I don¡¯t use rules in Mail so can¡¯t test it.

I need to track down the rule in Apple Mail that's moving some emails around and having gone through manually the rules front-end dialog I can't find what's triggering this behavior.
Unfortunately Apple does not provide any way to search rules, in any way. I have dozens and dozens, with dozens of child rules.?
?
The mail rules used to be located at either:
/Library/Mail/(latest version number)/MailData? or
...twin files called SyncedRules.plist and UnsyncedRules.plist
?
But they are not there (or hidden) in Ventura 13.5.1 to my knowledge.
I guess things have changed quite a bit. If I can open the rules file I can just do a quick search for key words and then edit the rules? <dict> code, or at least find the title of the rule and go back to the front-end and try again from there.?
?
Anyone know where the rules files went??
?
All the best,
