Opening up all code blocks in designer.

I am using Visual Studio .NET and dealing with C# environment. When I run a search for a string in files I sometimes miss the string I am looking for due to the fact that it is sitting within a code block that is collapsed (with a [+] sign next to it).
In order to allow the search to plough through the whole file I usually start at the bottom and work my way up, opening each [+] I encounter.
Is there an option within the IDE that allows me to open all these code blocks in one hit such that I can ensure that my string searches give me the required results.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well you can always enable the "Search inside hidden text" option in the Find Dialog box. :)

Or right click in the editor
Select Outlining -> Expand all nodes
