  1. SQLSmash (http://www.sqlsmash.com) has a wonderful "Go To Object" tool that I use regularly. It helps me navigate to SQL objects quickly without having to point and click. All I have to do is type CTRL+, and start typing the name of the object. It will filter the names based on what I type, and when I click enter it will select the object in Object Explorer.

    It is much better at finding tables, views, & stored procs on the fly than SQL Search. It is especially helpful when working in multiple databases simultaneously. I had previously posted this…

  4. I would like to be able to activate SQL Search from the keyboard instead of clicking the icon on the toolbar. In addition, I would like to have keystrokes to toggle some options like whether it Matches on Name, Text, or Column.

    When I'm searching for objects with names containing "xyz" I'd like to do it quickly from the keyboard without having to navigate with my mouse.

    This should be an easy request to fulfill and will give you points in the Accessibility category.

  5. Currently its impossible to see User Defined Table Types at all in SQL Search. Please add this functionality. Other 'Type' objects would also be great.

    https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/86737/can-sql-search-show-user-defined-types

    It breaks your flow when rather than using search, you have to manually navigate down the object explorer

  6. During installation, I cleared the option to send usage statistics back to RedGate.

    So imagine my surprise when the log file shows multiple "Usage reporting request made to" events!

    Respect your users' selections - if I choose not to submit usage reports, DO NOT SUBMIT USAGE REPORTS!

  7. 1) The last dropdown just shows me the alias names I use to connect to databases so I have no idea which user I'm doing the search under which impacts results based on the privilleges. This should clearly show which user it's searching under please.
    2) I'm sat here right now, I've select 1 database to search against out of 300. Yet my search results coming back (after 20 minutes of waiting) keeps including ALL database. I've closed down the search window and tried again, same result. why?
    3) Needs to be able to export results from the search window…

  9. The search for through functions, store procs, views, tables is great. But it would help if one was able to search through SSRS reports as well.

    This will enable one to find where functions, store procs etc. are been used. As the "Show Dependencies" is limited to a specific DB and does not have the ability to "look" into deployed reports.

  10. Allow multiple searches in many search tabs.
    I want to search two different things and have the search results side-by-side.

  11. I wish to view the result columns hierarchically: Database -> Schema - > Object. But at present I'm limited to the existing order, which is reverse in my mind: Object -> Schema - > Database. Bonus if the columns are draggable.

  13. Your sql search tool is great, while using it. However, it would be even better, if you could allow a user a way to kick off the tool without the toolbar button. I use VS and management studio without toolbars and via keyboard shortcuts. I would love to see a keyboard shortcut entry to kick off a SQL Search, and\or a means via menus.

    Thank you.

  15. When showing results on a table definition, show the nullability defined for it as well as any default value. Now, I see three columns: name, datatype and computed value. Please add two more: Null and Default, preferably in the order: Name, Type, Nullable, Computed, Default

  18. When you click on a match and see the script in the lower panel, I can highlight with my mouse but Ctrl-C doesn't copy what I've highlighted to the clipboard. That would be handy!

  20. Improve exact match. When searching for an exact phrase, allow case sensitive search, and the use of AND/OR/NOT or %.
