The following provides a couple of options on how to search MS SQL stored procedures for text. This can be useful if you're trying to find references to pieces of code or notes.

The following has been tested against MS SQL Server 2000-2016

Method 1

-- Search Stored Procedures Script
-- Input: Replace '%...%'  with you search string.  i.e. '%D_Request%'
SELECT ROUTINE_SCHEMA, ROUTINE_NAME, ROUTINE_DEFINITION
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES

Use this script to search through all Stored Procedures to find a particular piece of data. Such as: Table usage, Column Names, etc.

-- [ Find tables using Column and generate SELECT statement ] --
select 'select ''' + o.name + ''' ,* from ' + o.name + ' where ' + c.name + ' = ''...''', * from sysobjects o, syscolumns c
where o.id = c.id and o.xtype = 'u'
and c.name like '%Device_Id%'   -- COLUMN NAME HERE
order by o.Name;
