I want to go through my changesets and search for a specific checkin/changeset comments on Visual studio 2013 or on Visual Studio Online. How can I do this? On github is very easy to do this but I am struggling on VS online.

If you have TFS Power Tools installed, you can use the following

tfpt searchcs

It brings up a dialog (like following) that allows you to search Change Sets by comment text amongst other things

PowerTools are a great way (See other answer), here is the Quick and dirty way:

From the "View History"-Window:

  1. Select all relevant Changesets you want to search
  2. Press CTRL+C to copy to clipboard
  3. Paste in Text editor
  4. Use search function there
