Why do we need to use old: before keying in the string for search in the search box?
I can find several rules without using old: in the search box. But I cannot find some strings without using old:, are there reasons?

There is some information on this in the following discussion (as it has been asked before):
https://collaborate.pega.com/question/search-syntax-using-old
Prefixing "old:" will search the database directly rather than using a lucene or elastic search index.
If rules are not showing up in the "regular" search then it could be that the search index is incomplete, or that you are searching for a rule marked as internal (typically prefixed with "pz") as these do not show up by default in the regular indexed search.
