SQL Search 1.0 Beta Available
Database Administration, Free Stuff, News | January 27, 2010 | 2:40 pmRed Gate Software has released the 1.0 beta version of SQL Search, a new free SSMS add-in that allows you to easily search for “text strings”, allowing you to quickly find objects stored within a SQL Server instance.
For example, if you want to find all of the objects on a SQL Server instance that have the string “orders” in it, this is easily done, as you can see below.
Besides displaying all of the relevant objects, it also provides the T-SQL code that was used to create the object.
When the final version comes out (which will also be free), I’ll provide a longer description of how you to use the tool. But in the meantime, the beta version works very well and can be put to immediate use. Download SQL Search here.

Hi Brad!
I visited the SQL Search page on RedGate’s site, downloaded and istalled the tool. Does the SQL Search also work with SQL Server 2000 ?
We are using SQL Server Management Studio 2005 to connect to our MS SQL Server 2000 machine. The SQL Search button is available in the toolbar, but remains diabled as I browse the databases in Object Explorer.
Best Regards,
George.
George, SQLSearch only supports SQL Server 2005/2008.
The final version of SQL Search is now available at: http://www.red-gate.com/products/SQL_Search/index.htm.
