I do not think there is. But when I needed to search through forms, classes, etc., for particular strings, I did the following:
lnRetVal = adir(aForms, "*.SCX")   && *.VCX for classes, *.PJX for projects
for j = 1 to lnRetVal
    lcForm = aForms(j,1)
    use (lcForm) excl
    for i = 1 to fcount()
        if type(field(i)) = "M"  && because info is usually in memo fields
           locate for "SOME_VALUE" $upper(field(i))
           do while !eof()
              _do_what_you_want_here_
              continue
           enddo
        endif
    endfor
endfor
