Any way to search through all programs in a project with one command?

I've got 30 programs in a project, and I want to quickly locate every place in every program where the variable EDITFILE-PEER-TOPIC is referenced.  Do I have to search through each program separately, or is there a way to do it with a single command?

Use the Find In Files option to search for a text string within your project or solution or elsewhere.

Under Edit-->Find and Replace-->Find In Files

Select the desired location to search, such as project or Solution in the Look in dropdown list along with any other options like case matching, etc.

Thanks.
