Ctrl-F to open the "Find" dialog, then search for "public class <insert start of controller name here>" in the entire solution.

That's a good solution. any other way since sometimes its not working or taking huge time since my application is too big.

There's some add-ons and plug-ins that let you search by type, the most popular (ReSharper) isn't free though however it does way more than type-searching. Someone has probably written an add-on that helps with this stuff, or you could look at using the "Class View" of your solution which lets you navigate things based on namespace and class name rather than folder structure.
