 * Does anyone have a recommendation for a plugin where i can search all files in
   editor for a piece of code that i want to take out? Not sure what such a plugin
   is called if there is one to even begin searching for it.
 * I tried these two:
    Advanced Code Editor – doesnt seem to do what i want String
   Locator – server errors out
 * Thanks in advance

 * I am not sure if there would be a plugin for that.
 * You can try TextCrawler where you can search for a code/string within a folder
   if you are on Windows that is.
