Script to search for a string in all varchar columns in all tables in a database?



I have a string which I need to know where it came from in a database.
I don't want to spend time coding this so is there a ready made script
which takes a string as a parameter and searches all the tables which
contain varchar type columns and searches these columns and indicate which
tables contain that string?

Full text search is not enabled.
