Have a look at this link - http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/T-SQL+Aids/31131/ and see if that helps.

The SP in the linked article was written by Prasad Bhogadi and is as follows:

CREATE PROCEDURE SEARCHFORSTRING @SEARCHSTRING VARCHAR(100)
AS
            SELECT  DISTINCT(sysobjects.name)
                FROM 
                sysobjects,syscomments
            WHERE 
                sysobjects.id =     syscomments.id
            AND 
                sysobjects.type = 'P'
            AND 
                sysobjects.category=0
AND
        CHARINDEX(@SEARCHSTRING ,syscomments.text)>0

You can use this to create an SP in your database or adapt it for a one-time query.
