Search Engine within SW

All,
I'm working on very large electrical board within SW and was wondering if I could to a search for a board designator(s) (i.e. Q13) without trying to find it manually. Adobe and MS has a search option using the (binocular icon).

This would be a nice enhancement request if the functionality is not already there.

Thanks,

RE: Search Engine within SW

Is "Q13" a multi-body part, a separate part or a 2D block?

All,
Just need to do a text search on the field of a drawing with lots of text.

CorBlimeyLimey,
It was a block, but it's now exploded.
