search in solution folder in visual studio 2013 for specific pattern in code

So after some extensive searching I am embarrassed to say i cant figure this out. Lets say I have the comment //tebow in an mvc4.5 application. Or I have tebow displaying on the page but i dont know if its in a controller or in static html.

In sublime text i could right click and say "find in this folder" and it would search the text in all the files in that root folder.

How do i do this in visual studio pro 2013? Searching in the solution explorer doesnt seem to do it. For example it couldnt find the string "powerful" in the out of the box mvc example even though i know its on the index.chtml file.

This didnt really help but its slightly close

update so i figured out i can do Control Shift F to find. is there a visual way to keep this search somewhere?

When I do Ctrl+Shift+F to search, all of the search results are listed in the "Find Results 1" tool window. To open it, go View - Find Results - Find Results 1, or press Ctrl+Tab and use arrow keys to navigate to it. Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "visual way"? :)
