Filter Search reports hit, but cannot find search term in the filter definition

I am researching some lost emails, and got to wondering if they had been filtered out by MailWasher and subsequently deleted. I searched Filters for the argument "team" (without quotes) and got a hit for a filter titled "Miscellaneous". However, for the life of me, I can find nowhere in that filter definition the string "team". (This filter contains a number of regexes that have accumulated over time, if that's of any significance.)

If the word "team" is in that filter someplace, would sure like to find it ... However, I see no way to get MW to show me where it thinks the word "team" occurs in the filter. Any suggestions?

Yes, does sound a bit odd alright, all I can think to try is to delete that filter and re-create it possibly....?

(copy the regex you are using first)

If just the same, you may need to re-write the regex differently possibly?
