What happened to good old object search ???

Hi There

I have been working with MSS Management Studio for some time now.
One thing really bothers me, i cannot find the equivalent for object search found in good old query analyser.

I have many QA databases, and the all have tens of thousands of tables and views.

If i need to find a table or view i go to query analyser and do an object search and i get the result within a second.

The only thing i can do in Management Studion is filter the views or tables for the one i am looking for , problem is with the number of objects in these databases i can go for a smoke and come back before i get results.

Am i missing something here Please tell me there is an object search equivalent in Management Studio that i just cant find

Thanx

    I don't have a good answer for you. Unfortunately the search capabilities in SSMS just aren't very robust. The only functionality available is the filtering capabilities.
