Tom and Slavin:
The dump of information sounds like a good idea. To Slavin's question, the user need to be able to repeated search, but as a developer, I would want and idea I can eventually implement repeatedly. I've done this successfully in the past, but it required 4-5 methods handling a combination of SQL statements and looping arrays.
Thanks for your help guys!

No. There's no way to do this, and there's no way to say "all tables" in SQL. In other words it's not easy to write such a thing.
I like Thomas Kurz's solution, to dump the database as SQL commands. Alternatively you could write a text exporter for all the columns you think might hold the string, then search that text.
If you want better solutions, it might help to tell us whether this is a one-time problem, something you (the developer) might want to do repeatedly, or something you want the user to be able to do repeatedly.
