If I want to find where anything I want to search is, I use this:

DECLARE @search_string    varchar(200)
    SET @search_string = '%myString%'

    SELECT DISTINCT
           o.name AS Object_Name,
           o.type_desc,
           m.definition
      FROM sys.sql_modules m
           INNER JOIN
           sys.objects o
             ON m.object_id = o.object_id
     WHERE m.definition Like @search_string;
