In Firebug, you can search some text and it will look for it in all scripts loaded on a page. Can the same be done in Chrome Developer tools while debugging client script? I tried it, but it seems to search only in the script I have open, and not the rest that are on the page.
I hope the next screenshots give a better idea about what I'm trying to accomplish:
The following screenshots are from a single search in Firebug:

In the latest Chrome as of 10/26/2018, the top-rated answer no longer works, here's how it's done:
In Widows it is working for me. Control Shift F and then it opens a search window at the bottom. Make sure you expand the bottom area to see the new search window.
Your text may be located in the networking response.There is also a search tool in the Network tab, and you may try it.
What you want to search for may stay either in DOM or in memory. If it is not in DOM, well, it may be in memory, because you have just see it in your computer screen anyway. The text you search for may be loaded either from scripts in the initial DOM or from response in the later request.
In addition to Ctrl+Shift+F (Cmd+Option+F on Mac) as suggested in this answer, you can right click on the top tree node in the sources tab and select "Search in All Files":
Search All Files with Control+Shift+F or Console->[Search tab]
NOTE: Global Search shows up next to the CONSOLE menu
In Windows Control+Shift+F. Also make sure to search in content scripts as well. Go to Settings->Sources-> Search in anonymous and content script.
