[code]
SELECT DISTINCT O.xtype, O.[name]
FROM dbo.syscomments AS C
JOIN dbo.sysobjects AS O
ON O.id = C.id
WHERE [text] LIKE '%MySearchPhrase%'
ORDER BY O.xtype, O.[name]
[/code]
Use xtype in the WHERE clause to constrain by type, if required (this will include Views, Functions, etc.). ENCRYPTED objects will NOT be searched

also

select routine_definition from information_schema.routines
where routine_definition like '%searchString%'

and note that this will exclude triggers if any
