I want to go through my changesets and search for a specific checkin/changeset comments on Visual studio 2013 or on Visual Studio Online. How can I do this? On github is very easy to do this but I am struggling on VS online.
In Source Control Explorer, press Ctrl + G. The Go to Changeset dialog box appears. Type the number of the changeset and choose OK. If you don't know the number, choose Find.
Click on the Changeset [number] link for the changset you are interested in. Above the changeset details panel click on the little speech bubble with the plus sign, a textbox will appear and you can enter your comment - hitting Enter will save the comment.
Navigate to TFS in your browser, go to code, click on changesets, then advanced search. You can filter by user and date range. You can not search by comment, but if you have a general date range in mind then you can filter it down then use the browsers search (ctrl + f).
Take searching for a changeset in Visual Studio's TFS Source Explorer. Luckily if super easy to do! When you're in the Source Explorer, simply press Ctrl + G and the Find ChangeSet dialog will appear. From here you can type the changeset number and press OK.
If you have TFS Power Tools installed, you can use the following
tfpt searchcs
It brings up a dialog (like following) that allows you to search Change Sets by comment text amongst other things
