How can I see how often and where an image is used in the site?

Question

Just realized the post appeared twice as at first sending I
got an error page (contains no data...).
So, please do all answer to the other post, so that all
replies get collected at one post only.
Hello,
please excuse my maybe dumb question but converting from
GoLive I am still trying to find several practical effective
workflow features in DW ...
1. where in the sitewindow/assets or files panel can I see an
indication at each image if and how often it is used in a site?
2. and where can I see/check on which pages it is used?
Thanks in advance for guiding me there ...
bye,
Beate

I'm not sure what the benefit is of knowing how often an
image is used, but
a search for the image by filename would do the trick.
And just so you'll know, this is a peer forum, not an
official communication
vehicle to Adobe. We are all just users here, not Adobe
employees.
