Something like

| rest /services/saved/searches
| where match(search, "\bindex *= *(\* |\*$)")
  OR NOT match(search, "\bindex *=")
| fields title search

This will get you the saved searches

| rest "/servicesNS/-/-/saved/searches" splunk_server=local 

and it will return a field called 'search' - you can then look in that to see what search statements are being used. Note that if your search contains macros you will also have to expand the macros too and search those.
