Question

Best way to narrow down where a simple account name is used (ex. AR)

Hello! 

We named an alternate hierarchy account parent AR and are now trying to find where that account was called/used because we want to remove it without impacting other things (we'll redirect wherever it's referenced to its replacement/new hierarchy). 

We use Finit's Toolkit/SearchIt (replaced by OS's ownership in more recent releases) but as you can imagine, searching "AR" gets 100s/1000s of matches. Is there a way folks might suggest to narrow down this search? A#AR has helped but I'm afraid we'll still miss areas where the A# isn't referenced in front of the account name. We also tried searching the member ID in SearchIt and that doesn't work. 

Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

My naive suggestion is to use "Notepad++" to find "AR" in your XML extract as shown below.
