Have you ever had to reference code you wrote along time ago and forgot where it was? I made a quick utility widget to help you locate it by searching through possible script locations your code could be. It doesn't happen often but figured I would share it just in case. 

 

Here is a screen shot. You type in what you are looking for and select the script types to search for and it will give you links to every record that contains query in the script. May not be perfect. I think i am going to create an admin application menu and add a module to link to utility pages like this one.

Attached is an update set with the widget and a page to view it. Please feel free to make it better. This was made on the fly, there might already be a way to do this but I did not know of one.

Nice!  Thanks for sharing.  There is also one in ServiceNow Share you might like to take a look at:

Have you ever struggled to find old code and forgotten where it was? I created a utility widget that helps you search through potential script locations to locate your code easily. Just type in your query, select the script types, and you'll receive links to every record containing your search term.

This tool may not be perfect, but it’s a great starting point! Similarly, you can enhance your projects by using **Generator Czcionek** online to create custom fonts that improve readability and style. I'm also considering adding a module to link to utility pages like this in an admin application menu to streamline access!
