Menu
sometimes I waste my time searching for a value in an object at runtime.
Certainly you-all know this task --> open the QuickWatch view and browse through the properties until you find what you're looking for.
I'm looking for a tool/add-in/extension where it is possible to search for a value in object.
The QuickWatch view with a search enhancement would be perferct :)
sb. knows a tool?
Thanks!

You can't change local,input or output variables during debugging however the closest you can get is using site properties - you get the advantage of changing the value without having to re-publish your application.
Immediate / Command window
A possible way to achieve that would be to write ? YourObject in Visual Studio's Immediate or Command window. This command will print all values of your object and you can then simply search it with Control + F.
Custom macro
Another possibility is to run a custom macro when a TracePoint was hit in Visual Studio like explained by Scott Guthrie in this excellent blog post:
The macro explained in this blog post automatically outputs all of the local variables when a TracePoint was hit, but the general idea would go in the same direction.
