Run in the desired data base from Query Analyzer:

declare @s varchar(255)

set @s-2 = 'Text to Search Here'

DECLARE @msg varchar(255) ,

@ul varchar(255)

select @s-2='%' + @s-2 + '%'

select 'SP Name'=upper(o.name),

Seq=colid ,

'SP Line'=substring(text,patindex(@s,text)-5, 30)

from syscomments c ,

sysobjects o

where o.id=c.id

and patindex(@s,text) > 0

order by name

SELECT @msg='* Stored procedures containing string "' + @s-2 + '=' +

convert(varchar(8),@@rowcount) + ' *'

SELECT @ul=replicate('*',datalength(@msg))

Print ' '

PRINT @ul

PRINT @msg

Print @ul

GO

nothing predefined, but you can easily take Tyson's example and create a stored proc witht eh same code.
