SQL Server Query to Search Contents of Stored Procedures

November 2, 2022

I seem to have a need for this every 6 months or so. So I'm putting it up on this site to make it easier for me to lookup.

This SQL Server query allows you to search for specific text inside all stored procedures on a database. The query will return the name of the stored procedure.

SELECT name 
FROM   sys.procedures 
WHERE  Object_definition(object_id) LIKE '%Search-Text%'
