Hello there, 1st of all Merry christmas! :)
and next is Thanks a Loottttt for the plugin. :) :)

well.. my issue is..
i am using a library file to which several other sketch files refer to for symbols.
with this plugin i can find all instances from same file but,
now my question is is there any way i can find instances of symbols which are there in other files?

@vnkulkarni Sorry I am just now responding to this question.

This plugin will only search within the open/active document. If you want to search within a library file, you will have to open the library file and run the plugin with that file active.

Thank you for using Symbol Instance Locator!

It would indeed be very useful when using a library to be able to see if any other files are using a symbol from that library. (e.g. can I safely delete or modify this library symbol?)

If Sketch API allows, perhaps you could check in all currently-open files?
