Find text in files

Hi all I am editing the text in a site but having problems finding all the relevant files in File Manager. The search function only finds the names of files. Can anyone suggest a simple (I am a novice) way to find the files containing the text I want to edit? Many Thanks

  If you are having server root SSH access then you can easily do it with the command. grep -ir "Text you want to search" * Run above command in home directory of that particular account.

  Hello :) Your access level is listed as "Website Owner", so you would have to contact your hosting provider to see if they can enable SSH access for your account in order to use commands like the one referenced in the previous post. Thank you.
