Hi Mubarak,

You have to visit each and every profile individually and on that particular profile you can see the tab settings for each object.
Steps to see Tab settings in Profile :
Setup -> Manage Users -> Profiles
Select a profile and than navigate to Tab Settings section to view visbility of object tabs.

Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Mubarak,

You can use i.e. Force.com IDE or Mavens Mate to download metadata api and search them by using search option available in editor: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>CustomTab</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>Profile</name>
    </types>
    <version>31.0</version>
</Package>
Information are you looking for are in "profiles" folder and depending on profile permission it will be something like that: 
<tabVisibilities>
    <tab>TheTabName</tab>
    <visibility>DefaultOn</visibility>
</tabVisibilities>
Instead of "*" you can use tab names and/or profile names.

Hope this helps,
Lukasz
