I have a tool that can search DFM too, but it can find where a property is set, not where there is no setting.
I do know this problem, have seen a large program (D5) where occasionally a navigation control datasource setting was lost. Because there were so many data modules this was a real nuisance, I found the best way was to compare all the DFM files with the SVN repository where the settings were known to be correct and that often saved a pile of time - and also showed what the correct setting was as well. Of course if the setting has never been there then you have to do something smarter and a special tool may be needed.

A recent component update by the author has bought this to our attention, now we just need to find all of them and fix. I have a tool to search dfm files but in this case we want to find only instances of a component without an entry for a property. Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to build a tool?
