1. Poking around the Wireshark sources a bit, I see that 'tds7.message'
    is not actually a display filter field in Wireshark 1.6. It was last
    available in the 1.4 release.

    I don't know why the Display Filter Web page is incorrect.

    In any case, even in the earlier versions, that particular filter
    didn't actually do anything. :)

2. The following brute-force display filter should work:
       tds contains "xxx" (where xxx is the searched for word).

    This filter searches the complete TDS payload of any
    TDS packet. Obviously you can add additional filters to restrict
    searching to only TDS packets from the server, etc.

    See http://wiki.wireshark.org/DisplayFilters for more examples.

    Edit ! Find would also work but is not as flexible.
