    Is there a search function at Google for us to search the content of the html code of a website?

    It's easy. Bring up any website and then from the tool bar at the top select view and scroll down to the source option. When you click on this it will open the website's source code in a notpad file allowing you to view the website code itself

    As I see this post seems to be pretty "historic", so please don't blame me too much for upping it, but my reply is intended for anyone who might be looking for a simillar solution and a program I was looking. I was looking for an offline program able to search in multiple downloaded html files for a specific link or html code. Like anyone else I was looking for something simple, small, quick and offline to be able to use it anywhere and anytime. I had about 50 000 of html files and I was looking for the location of some images, I had the images but I didn't know to what pages they were attached. If you have a problem like this, or if you want to find a specific htm code in a batch of htmls or if you want to replace some codes with another try this little jewel from http://www.divlocsoft.com/ it's called Actual Search & Replace, the search is quick, the handling of multiple files is bugless and the string's are displayed with examples for preview. I'm not in any ways affiliated with it, just spent a lot of time on the web looking on the forums, downloading crap utilities, installing and then removing them while looking for a solution and this one proved to be the best match. For guys that are in the same boat like I was is this message.This is a double post in different threads on this forum, I posted here because these are the first pages google showed me while I started looking for a solution.

    yep if you have just one or several files that'll perfectly do, but if you have several thousands of pages or the content of a whole website and you want to find the source of a specific url or a mistake that slipped in while making the site? I'm not sure it will be the best option to open each one separately and do a manual search until you find the necessary page. As I said the utility is great for looking in THOUSANDS of pages. It displays the context where the expression is found and could be used even to do replacements in all given files.

    What some want is to have a "crawl and custom search" across an entire online website. A1 Website Analyzer, Screaming Frog etc. offer this

    (It is useful to e.g. check if a client website has Google Analytics installed on all pages)
