  2. Simply allow font size settings on SQL Search results ... OR ... Post where in Windows this default font might be found. Current results are so small as to be very difficult to use

  3. It would be useful to have the option to exclude disabled jobs from the search.

  4. On my server there are dozens of databases, each project encompasses several at a time. It would be nice to save groupings of databases so that I can select multiple databases that are relevant for a particular project without sifting through a long checklist picking specific databases.

  5. Once you have a list of all matching objects, have the option to select them all and script them to a new window.

  6. Only that, being able to add or delete columns in the results search grid. Would be great.

  7. If an SSIS Catalog is chosen as a database, search the SSIS packages within for the text. I'm not sure how easy it would be to show the results, but even if the results were shown in the XML file format that would be better than nothing.

  8. Enable users to search for user-defined types. Sometimes there is a certain change and SQL search will not show relevant fields of a user-defined type that matches the search criteria.

  9. When using SQL Search to find a column name within objects, it would be extremely helpful to have an additional column that totals the number of instances of that search string within the search results. Clicking on a row in the search results shows the first instance of the string within the object but if it's a stored procedure, function, trigger, table, or query it's helpful to be able to see the total number of instances of that string within the object.

    Also in the object definition window, it would be really nice to be able to click a button…

  10. Search for a Procedure that has NO parameters, and the code-line ends with a semicolon - Search IS BLIND! What a lousy BUG!

  11. Allow me to explain by examples.

    Example A:
    I enter the search term 'test' (without the apostrophes) and I DO NOT check the 'match whole words only' option. I get the following hits:
    - somethinginfronttest
    - testsomethingbehind
    - test
    - [test]
    - dbo.test
    - dbo.[test]
    So far so good, all hits are as expected.

    Example B:
    I then enter the search term 'test' (without the apostrophes) and I CHECK the 'match whole words only' option. I get the following hits:
    - test

    And that's it. I do not get the following hits:
    - somethinginfronttest
    - testsomethingbehind
    - [test]
    - dbo.test…

  12. When you search for a stored procedure, it shows its name and details.

    It would be helpful to know which SQL Server Jobs and steps call/execute that stored procedure. That allows me to understand the importance and extent to which that stored procedure is used.

  13. When Displaying the search results that match a table column, include default value and nullable in the results.

    Additionally allow Select object in Object Explorer to select the matched column.

  16. Include the possibility to search inside table extended properties, for example if there's a description I would like to be able to find the text inside the description

  17. It would be great if you could attach to an SSAS server and search the databases (cubes) for text. I'm mainly interested in the queries used to populate the tables, but I could see it being useful to search for text anywhere in the database.

  18. Hola, trabajo todos los días en SQL Management Studio y SQL Search es una herramienta clave para mí, he notado que puedo copiar código que sale en la vista previa si tengo SPID abierto y el código que se muestra esta grabado en un archivo, pero muchas veces estamos modificando consultas o procedimientos y deseamos reutilizar código, se podrá habilitar el comando copiar aunque no tenga grabado el archivo o código con un SPID abierto? sería de gran ayuda gracias.

  19. As with other objects, I would like to see the CREATE TABLE definition in the preview pane when a table is selected in the search results.

    This would give the same information to the user that the current table preview gives, with the added bonus of being able to copy and paste the results if we want to re-create the same table (say, under a different database or schema, or just with a different name), just as we can for views, SPs etc.

  20. One thing I like about ApexSQL Search is that it uses my configured font styles and keyword colors from SSMS in the object preview/definition window. I would LOVE to see this implemented in the RedGate tool because it would make it easier to read the object code.
