use DBname
SELECT Name
FROM sys.procedures
WHERE OBJECT_DEFINITION(OBJECT_ID) LIKE \'%xxx%\'
<

I want to post a simple solution for every schema you've got. If you are using MySQL DB, you can simply get from your schema all the table's name and add the WHERE-LIKE condition on it. You also could do it with the usual command line as follows:

SHOW TABLES WHERE tables_in_ LIKE '%%';

where tables_in_ returns the column's name of SHOW TABLES command.
