This function is called find in files and you can use Notepad++. Download and install Notepad++ then start it from the desktop. Press Ctrl+F and activate Find in files tab. Input the text block, select the directory where the module will begin the scanning and wait for results. The application will search entire directory selected and display the exact location of the text.
Try running this version in Compatibility mode. It supports only Windows 95 / 98 / NT.
