 * Hi, i am trying to use string locator to find the PHP file/string and eventually
   manually edit coding of such file, but seems that when i am searching in the 
   whole directory is not bringing back any results. I am not sure if I am missing
   something fairly easy here or I do have a bigger problem.
    can u please help 
   me understand? result of search” Your search was completed, but no results were
   found.”
 * I always get this even if I am searching for a single word in a text which is
   clearly on my website.
