Ability to search within files in the File Manager

Having the ability to search within files in the File Manager more useful. There are many times where we've been trying to help a customer with a custom application and without being able to search for certain things like database connections, etc. we have to SSH into the server or copy the site to a local machine to search and troubleshoot that way.

I would hesitate to build our own search engine - not our speciality - BUT if we can find a fast search tool out there that already exists, can search within files, and is licensed acceptable, then we can consider it.

What about developing a sort of gui for grep ? It would require parceing the results but it shouldn't be that difficult to get a list of files to display ?

Being able to "grep" through filesystems and trees when no `ssh` access is available is critical!
