Quality Check PI can search, but EPUBs only.

There is Recoll Full Text Search which searches all ebooks (except I cannot see anything about a MOBI filter on the recoll website...). It claims to be linux-only, but recoll should run on OSX as well (according to the recoll website), so, possibly with a little tweaking, should work.

Spotlight should index EPUB and MOBI natively.
