What happen to Find in Files in VS2005?

I can't find how to search an entire solution for a string, say "Sub (ByRef"
Nor how to search the entire solution using Regular Expressions.
These were my favorite things - please don't tell me they are gone!

The option to find/replace in files still exists in "Edit" -> "Find and
Replace" -> ...

Are you using the Express or Standard edition? Maybe this editions do not
contain the "Find and Replace" options for files because of their
"streamlined" user interface.

Under Edit I have

Find Symbol
Quick Find
Quick Replace

Find Symbol is the only one that searches the entire solution.
It does not appear to work for strings like I mentioned above.
Nor have Regular Expresion ability.

I looked under Tools/Options but found nothing relating

Assuming VS2005 Pro, if you hit Ctrl+F, the Find and Replace window appears
with "Quick Find" selected. If you look you'll see that the "Quick Find"
button actually has a drop-down arrow next to it. Click this and other Find
options will appear, one of which is Find in Files. RegExp is one of the
options available here too.

HTH,
