To search in SSH for a word or a sentence in a file you can use the grep command

grep “username” wp-config.php

This command will output the username keyword in the wp-config.php file, but if you are not sure in which file this is located, you can use:

grep -r – H “username” *

This will look for the username in all files and give out the output in a recursive and human-readable format which the -r and -H options stands for.
