Toad Object Search

With the newest release of Toad for Oracle, the object search is broken.

Go to: Search -> Object Search:

Then in the Search Term try seraching for: xyz(‘abc’) toad says: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

Use two single quotes where you have one.

Xyz(‘’abc’’)

I need to locate the phase: xyz(‘abc’) in the code

xyz is a function name and ‘abc’ is a string being passed to the function. I need to find all packages which call this function.

So changing the search phrase to xyz(“abc”) is not helpful.

The Object Search is clearly broken… try searching for xyx(

This is fixed in Toad 12.1. In the meantime you'll need to properly escape all characters that are special by regex definition.

Try... xyz('abc')

...And you may also need to double up the quotes too if escaping the parens alone doesn't do it.

Oops, sorry for the bad advice.

I can reproduce this in 12.0, but it is fixed in the current beta and will be fixed in 12.1.

You can get the beta here
