Performing a Text Search in the Repository

The Find functionality lets you do a plain text search in the repository files. The results are displayed in the Found Results tab in the Repository Browser. You can select to view the results by folder structure or object types. Drilling down the results tree, you can see the object name as well as the specific line of code where the searched text is.
