Searching in SQL Management Studio 2005

Question

Is there a way to search for text within stored procedures? For example I want to find out if a particular table is being referenced by any stored procedure.

Answer 1

SELECT
   OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(object_id) + '.' + OBJECT_NAME(object_id)
FROM
   sys.sql_modules
WHERE
   definition like '%whatever%'

syscomments is legacy and splits the definition into nvarchar 4000 chunks thus risking not finding what you want. The same applies to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
