How do I get SQL Search in SSMS 2016?

Bill_S

I installed SSMS 2016 > rebooted > opened SSMS 2014 > upgraded my version of SQL Prompt 8.2.3.2750 > rebooted > opened SSMS 2016 and I only see Tab History, there is no SQL Search. I open SSMS 2014 and SQL Search is still there and working. Does SQL Search work in SSMS 2016?

Hi Bill,

SQL Search 3.0 does support SSMS 2016.

You can install this version from the link below if needed:
ftp://support.red-gate.com/patches/SQLSearch/30Oct2017/SQLSearch.exe

One thing to note is if you had SQL Search installed and then upgraded SSMS you may need to uninstall and reinstall the product to make sure that the correct files are added to the upgraded directories.

Hope that helps!
