If I import the folder into Thunderbird, yes. The search in Thunderbird is a subjective topic but it works for me. There are probably other tools to search through them but I have never tried to find one.
I wonder if there’s an app that can enable this kind of backup, which when restored or searched can search through all those snapshots and just one and can tell me where that certain email is so that I can just restore only that snapshot.
https://notmuchmail.org/ is an excellent way to search through gigabytes of email extremely quickly. It’s faster than Gmail, Outlook or any other webmail provider.

Can you search through old emails easily?

I can probably 'rgrep' my Archives folder (I'm using the maildir format, each email a text file).
