search in files cannot find controller text in apex:page tag in VF pages/component

I have noticed that in developer console, search in files cannot find the controller text in apex:page tag in VF pages/component.

you can also try searching for 'ABCController' in your console..
<apex:component controller="ABCController" access="global">

is this a bug or am i doing something wrong ?

I would think that the purpose of searching for text in files will search the content of Apex/VF, not necessarily the name of the file.

Knowing fullwell that the name of the class/trigger/page is right there in the body - I would tend to agree with you though.

The Developer Console is a great tool, but if you're doing more advanced tasks like searching across files (and others?) you can always try using Force.com IDE / Eclipse or Mavensmate.

Thanks Andy. My use case is very common one.. i tried to find all VF components/pages that's using my ABCController. But, i couldn't do it.

the strange thing is, it could find 'apex:component', but not 'ABCController'..   i think it's a bug..
