  There is another DBA - I'm going to get my big stick and go a-hunting.

  Happy hunting 😀

  I can recommend Notepad++ -> Find All in Current Document as a very handy tool for looking for needles in verbose log files

  If I'm reading logs on someone else's machine (so don't have my own tools), I usually open the error log files in Management studio. It's a better text editor than notepad (not hard)
