Hello,
is there a way to search for bracketed exposures that I once took for HDR photos?

For your camera model, which tag contains information about the exposure series?
If you find a usable tag, you can search for it.

Some cameras record information e.g. in the maker notes.

Canon uses (used?) e.g. a tag called BracketShotNumber, Nikon did something similar.
But of course if this tag contains values like, say, 1,2,3, the tag will contain the same numbers for all images with brackets, white balance, exposure, whatever.

Sometimes you can tell from the file name generated.

It all depends on what you actually mean by "search for bracketed exposure". If you shot series of 3 or 5 images, what do they have in common (metadata-wise) and what tells you that these 3 or five images were part of a bracket shot.
There is no standard for this, as far as I know. Look at the metadata in your files (Metadata Panel in Browser mode, search for bracket, make sense of it and then use it to search or for a data-driven category).
