How do I Find Instances of Specific Web Parts in my SharePoint sites?

Step-by-Step

Within the SharePoint Essentials Toolkit, you can utilize the “Item Query” feature to find any type of text or content easily. 

1. Open the SharePoint Essentials Toolkit
2. Select the sites that you want to find blank web pages for. Then right click and select "Create Reports->Item Query"
   
   
   
   If you select only one site, it will have slightly different menu options:
   
   
   
3. Give the Job a name that describes what we are doing, such as "Find 3rd Party Web Parts" or "Find Script Editor Web Parts"

4. Select the option "Has Web Part with Name", choose "contains" and enter a value which is present in the web part Title or within the Web Part rendered HTML (often for 3rd party web parts the vendor name is present in the rendered web part HTML).
   This could also be found by navigating to a page with an instance of the web part you are trying to find, then right clicking on the page and clicking 'View Source'.
