Is there a way to do a search across all projects? I use the F4 search in Ignition Designer to search within a single project, but would like to search for a string in all projects without having to open each individual project?
no there is not, there likely wont ever be either. The Designer only has a single context of the project which is open (alongside some gateway-wide resources) and that wont change any time soon, likely ever.
That being said, the project resources are just on disk on the gateway, so depending on what you are searching for (and what the file format of the project resources are) you might be able to search the files directly if you are just updating a name or reference.

grep -rn for the win!

Thank you, I will find the location of the project files and search them directly as you guys recommend. That should work for what I need which is to just identify what projects contain the search string.
