I want to search a text from all my database stored procedures. I use the below SQL:

SELECT DISTINCT
       o.name AS Object_Name,
       o.type_desc
FROM sys.sql_modules m
       INNER JOIN
       sys.objects o
         ON m.object_id = o.object_id
WHERE m.definition Like '%[ABD]%';

I want to search for [ABD] in all stored procedures including square brackets, but it's not giving the proper result. How can I change my query to achieve this?
