My everyday IDE is Eclipse which has a wonderful Open Resource feature (CTRL+SHIFT+R or Navigate > Open Resource) which allows the user to search for files/resources across multiple projects.
I can’t find a similar feature in SQL Server Management Studio, is there one?
You can search for objects in a sql database using the Information Schema Views http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186778.aspx There’s one for tables, columns, functions, sprocs, etc.
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.routines where ROUTINE_DEFINITION like ‘%xp%_’
