There's a great feature and shortcut in vs.net 2k5 to search all files. Ctrl+Shift+F will open the Find dialog. Double click the line in the results window on the bottom to navigate to the specific line found in the results.You can also do Ctrl+Shift+H for a global replace.
Whatever you do don't build your project while this is searching. It wont ever stop searching, and it will never find anything. Hit the 'Stop background find' button in the 'Find Results' dialog to cancel a long running search.
