Please let me know how do I make a search with a specific keyword in all the existing aura components and it should give me a result of all the aura components having the search term. I tried SOSL search, but it does not return aura components in result.

For example, I want to search "ChildComp" in Salesforce, which should return all the components having this search term (in this case it should return ParentComp.cmp, described as below).

<aura:component>
        <aura:handler name="componentEventFired" event="c:CustomEvent" action="{!c.handleEvent}"></aura:handler> <!-- Handler for custom event -->
        <aura:attribute name="ParentAttribute" type="String" default=""></aura:attribute> <!-- Attribute of parent component -->
        The ValueOf Attribute is {!v.ParentAttribute}
        <hr />
        <c:ChildComp />
</aura:component>

Note: I am working on client machine and I do not have VS Code installed. Plus it's not possible to have Salesforce DX in my system.

    Is your actual objective to perform a full text search, or to find component dependencies, or something else? Unfortunately it seems you've taken most of the suitable tools off the table.

    if you have no chance of installing anything nor having chrome extensions... my suggestion would be to export the metadata of the components using workbench, unzip it and use the command findstr or any other tool to search in all files

  • Install vscode and sfdx and fetch all metadata in vscode using sfdx and search locally in app folder.

  • SOSL search gives you the result of record available in sObject.

If there is no chance of installing anything nor having chrome extensions, but you are able to unzip, I would suggest trying workbench (if they haven't blocked it).

Fetch the Aura components with your package.xml (example below)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>AuraDefinitionBundle</name>
    </types>
    <version>48.0</version>
</Package>

After some time it will allow you to download the retrieve_xyz.zip. Just unzip it and search for its contents using any tool available.

  • Portable apps (such as notepad ++)
  • Command Line findstr (windows) / find | grep (unix)
  • OS tools (for example try things like content:yourcomponent; I cannot test this one as I don't have a windows machine at hand)
