Is there a way to search for systems or bodies that I have received a first mapped or first discovered credit bonus?

No. Best thing to do is take your journals and load them up onto EDSM.
Thanks for the suggestion. What are my journals and where do I find them? Are they something automatically generated by the game?
They're generated automatically.

I think if you are on a PC, your journals will be synced with EDSM automatically after you link your account... If I remember correctly... For sure I do not remember me ever uploading anything manually, therefore you do not really need to know where the journals are located...
I play ED on PC and on 29/12/2020 in EDSM I was awarded the “Kelper’s Eye” badge for being the first to discover a planet. I have now installed EDDiscovery and imported my journal data. Having done so I have located the following entries which are the only ones to include a bonus:
24/12/2020 Sell Exploration Data
System: Col 285 Sector EG-N c7-12
Amount: 3,459,195 cr, Bonus: 130,000 cr, Total: 3;589,195 cr
26/12/2020 Sell Exploration Data
Systems: Col 285 Sector EG-N c7-8
Amount: 17,544 cr, Bonus:10,000 cr, Total: 27,544 cr
When I view both systems in came I can see that all of the planets have first discovered and first mapped tags for other commanders. Which is not surprising as the systems are within the bubble. So I am wondering what I received the bonuses for and why I’ve been given the “Kelper’s Eye” badge. Might this be an error? I did scan a lot of planets / bodies with DSS probes so I wonder if the 10,000 cr bonus is for doing that on a planet that the first mapped commander had not used probes on.

That was a handy tip, thank you very much!
Journals won't give you first discovered or first mapped, these aren't stored in the journal, they are recorded when you turn in your data, and the way FDEV pays out bonus for first discovery and first map doesn't include details of what the bonus is for, only the amount of the bonus, so since that's not in the journals you won't be able to find them that way.
