It can be very hard to locate a required table or to remember names of your stored routines, when a database contains lots of objects. In case you need to navigate to a specific object, you no longer need to browse through the entire database looking for what you need.Instead, with dbForge Search for SQL Server, you don t need to look through the entire SSMS Object Explorer to find a required object.Key Features include:

Check Reference Search:You can search a database object by name, and it will find all the stored routines involving this object. This feature allows to quickly locate an object rather than browsing through a list of objects in the Object Explorer.
Custom Search:You can customize your search by configuring search criteria: object type, database, and connection. The search filter allows to quickly find only the specific object you need.
Multiple Search:You can quickly search numerous object types across multiple databases simultaneously. This option lets you perform a simultaneous search in such database object types as functions, triggers, columns, etc.
Wildcard Search:You can use wildcards to substitute for any characters in a search string. With wildcards, you can match zero or more characters, a set of characters included or absent in an object name being searched, etc.
