Do you mean finding a keyword test, or finding a method used in a keyword test, or using a find method to search for an object?

Finding a method used in a keyword test...

    Keep in mind that Keyword tests, on screen, are a graphical representation of a complex XML formatted file.  So, while it may seem simple to search for what's on screen, it's not quite that simple in truth.  I know of other tools that do so, though, so it's possible.  But be aware that it might take a bit to add that feature.

    If you want, you can request the feature at https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Feature-Requests/idb-p/TestXCompleteFeatureRequests and then other folks in the community can vote it up to be included in future development of the tool.

        There are any number of text tools out there... they are just text files, formatted in an XML structure.  So, open the file in a text tool and search.  

        WARNING:  DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES WITHIN THE TEXT TOOL.  The structure is specific to TestComplete and I don't think it's recommended to make any such changes directly.
