In that case, as the ELisp code is not part of the environment, you
could try any of the following features:

- Create a TAGS file for the files in the Doom project.  Read (info
  "(emacs) Tags Tables") for more information.

- M-x grep or M-x rgrep to use grep or a similar tool to search for
  a regular expression.

- If you want something a bit more sophisticated that understands ELisp
  better, you could try the ELPA package el-search
  (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/el-search.html).
