There is really no way to do this with the Visual Studio search. It will only display the actual line where the match occurred

I like Windows Grep for problems like this one.

UPDATE:

Windows Grep can operate in a "quick" mode that does not apply regular expression matching to the search string. It also offers limited string-replace functionality.

we used this (dont like it). thanks. some other people may like it.we need something very simple
