yep, within each schema look in user_tables or user_tab_columns. Or join the two on tablename and look for what you need.

dictionary can provide you information regarding the structure of the objects not the containing data.

select * from user_tables where table_name like 'ABC%';

This Query will give you all the tables having ABC as it name

select * from user_tab_cols where column_name like 'ABC%';

This Query will listy all the columns having ABC in the column name
