In Firebug, you can search some text and it will look for it in all scripts loaded on a page. Can the same be done in Chrome Developer tools while debugging client script? I tried it, but it seems to search only in the script I have open, and not the rest that are on the page.

I hope the next screenshots give a better idea about what I'm trying to accomplish: alt text

The following screenshots are from a single search in Firebug: alt textalt text

BTW, if you are using Source Maps (e.g. with GWT Super Dev Mode), you can search the mapped .java files by name... Type Ctrl + O (command + O on mac) in the Sources tab. – frankadelic

Open a new Search pane in Developer Tools by:

  • pressing Ctrl+Shift+F (Cmd+Option+I on mac)
  • clicking the overflow menu (⋮) in DevTools, DevTools overflow menu
  • clicking the overflow menu in the Console (⋮) and choosing the Search option

You can search across all your scripts with support for regular expressions and case sensitivity.

Click any match to load that file/section in the scripts panel.

Search all files - results

Make sure 'Search in anonymous and content scripts' is checked in the DevTools Preferences (F1). This will return results from within iframes and HTML inline scripts:

In Widows it is working for me. Control Shift F and then it opens a search window at the bottom. Make sure you expand the bottom area to see the new search window.

Your text may be located in the networking response.There is also a search tool in the Network tab, and you may try it.

What you want to search for may stay either in DOM or in memory. If it is not in DOM, well, it may be in memory, because you have just see it in your computer screen anyway. The text you search for may be loaded either from scripts in the initial DOM or from response in the later request.
