Search/Find in Query Editor

Is there a simple function to more easily find the column you are looking for in Query Editor?

@Anonymous,

There is no functionality like Edit>Find in Query Editor.

You are able to use text filters as below.

Alternatively, you can use Text.Contains function or DAX to find specific text, please take a look at the following example.
