Removing JQuery dependency from Angular app

Question

In the process of removing JQuery dependency from our Angular project. Most of the work to remove JQuery has been done.

Currently I'm just doing a global find on '$.' to identify those sections of code that still utilize JQuery.

Is there something else I should be searching for?

jQuery.......

Thanks to @tushar and @taxicala for suggesting I also search for jQuery (in case the alias is not used).

In addition to searching for '$.' and 'jQuery', we've also found reliance on jQuery from element in our directives.

From the Angular element docs: "If jQuery is available, angular.element is an alias for the jQuery function. If jQuery is not available, angular.element delegates to Angular's built-in subset of jQuery, called "jQuery lite" or "jqLite.”"

So to summarize...

search for $.
search for jQuery
search for uses of element that rely on jQuery and not just jqlite

Thanks again to those who commented!
