How do I search for text in all files under for example public_html?

  There are at least a couple of ways to do that. 1. use the grep command via SSH. grep -Ri foo public_html
  will search all files within public_html for the string 'foo' 2. within the cPanel file manager, there is a search field in the upper right corner. That does the equivalent of the grep command.

  Thanks! The SSH worked, but not cPnanel.
