Search Find (Ctrl F) only searches/finds words. What about symbols (in blueprints,etc.)?

Is there any program that could search/find ( Ctrl F) key symbols (not just words) in a drawing (ei,electrical, HVAC,etc.)This way it would "find"all the common symbols for estimates. Example, I want to find all the "thermostats" in a particular drawing, instead of looking at the drawing and counting/highlighting each one, than adding them, the search/find would list them. Perhaps upload symbols (not only words or numbers). Make sense?

I understand what you mean, but it probably depends on what program you are using. Programs specifically designed for designing stuff might have a "summary of parts" of some sort. If they don't there probably isn't a way.
