Author Searching Stored Procedures

Hi,

We are using SQL Server 2005 and SS Management Studio. We
have a database that contains about 500 stored procedures. I want to
quickley search through those stored procedures looking for a string of
text.

How can I do this? QuickFind requires me to have the
procedure open in an editing window before it will search. I want to
do it without opening 500 stored procedures.


Thanks,
Jim

This might work for you.

SELECT ROUTINE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
WHERE ROUTINE_DEFINITION LIKE '%Search Criteria Here%'

SELECT [name]
FROM sys.procedures
WHERE OBJECT_DEFINITION([object_id]) LIKE '%a string of text%'
