Util_ProcSearch
By Jesse Roberge - YeshuaAgapao@Yahoo.com
Searches precompiled procedures (stored procs,triggers,functions) for the provided search string.
LIKE wildcards are not automatic, which allows for easy 'begins with', 'ends with', and 'equal to' queries.
Also provides snippets of @CharCount length centered on the first found instance of the searched-for string
Update 2009-09-21:
Added @SchemaSearch to be able to filter by schema name patterns
Added views to the @Type default list (making the default 'all')
Change sort to sort by SchemaName before TableName
Update 2009-10-01:
Added searching of system procs/functions/views/triggers
Added parent object output (for triggers)

Optional Input Parameters
@Type VarChar(100)='FN,IF,P,TF,TR,V' Type of objects to search. Same codes as sys.objects.type
@NameSearch VarChar(250)='' Restrict body searches to procs that match this object name pattern. Accepts LIKE Wildcards
@SchemaSearch VarChar(250)='' Restrict body searches to procs that match this schema name pattern. Accepts LIKE Wildcards
@CharCount int=40 Size of the snippets - # of chars before and after match
@UserOjbects TinyInt=1 Search user objects
