A very nice little free tool from RedGate software which gives you the ability to search through all of your SQL objects.  Examples from RedGate on how it is useful include:

    You want to rename one of your table columns but aren't sure what stored procedures reference it. Using SQL Search, you can search for the column name and find all the stored procedures where it is used.

    Finding anything in the SSMS object tree requires a lot of clicking. Using SQL Search, you can press the shortcut combo, start typing the name, and jump right there.

    You need to find stored procedures you’ve not yet finished writing. Using SQL Search, you can search for stored procedures containing the text 'TODO'.

    You are a DBA, and developers keep using 'SELECT *' in their views and stored procedures. You want to find all these and replace them with a correct list of columns to improve performance and prevent future bugs. Using SQL Search, you can look for 'SELECT *' in the text of stored procedures and views.

You can download the free tool here.
