When I am searching a rule in pega 7.1.7 it does not show in output. Is there any known defect around this?

My experience is that if I search for just
foo
then if the system doesn't find it, I search for
old:foo
and that often works better.
In other words, try foo first and if it doesn't work, put old: in front of it.

old: works because uses the database to query but lacks the full text search capabilities that would come if you don't prefix that.
Depending on which version of Pega you are using, the search landing page needs to be configured appropriately and indexing needs to be done before search can work. As suggested by Rett and Nicholas, please go to the landing page (check the help for that page if needed) and ensure you are correctly configured.
On the landing page every index has a check button (in Pega 7) and should be used for checking if the index is fully built and available for search. Otherwise use the re-index button to recreate the indices as required.
If you are using Pega 7 and want to look up deprecated or internal rules, then they don't show up the search box results. So a generic word like "test" or "pega" should give you ample results.
The "old" directive is more of a brute force DB search if I recall correctly. So it should only be used to unblock you and not a long term solution.
On the same search landing page Nick referenced, ensure your "Search Index Host Node Setting" is set up properly and the agents are enabled (checkboxes) Then ensure you click submit.
Historically if you hit re-index without explicitly submitting the host settings, it would not retain the settings. I'm not sure if this is still the design in Pega 7 but it might be.

If you are seeing some rules and not others during searching, it could likely be that some are in the rulesets included in your current rule-application as referred to by your access group.

This is an internal rule and thus not available in search. You will notice the same when you open the instance list for Rule-File-Text and filter on this.

old keyword is fallback option to use DB queries with LIKE on certain exposed columns. Thus full text search (all content) would not be possible with it.

If you have configured multiple search nodes on the search landing page, the likelihood of full text search failing will be low (if all the nodes identified as index host nodes fail at the same time).
