An easier way to find an element among many .php files?

I am wondering what others are using to track down the source file containing an element, among many .php files that you inherited. I have Wordpress and have been using Webmaster Developer Tool in Firefox to display the elements on a page. When I need to modify that element, I go to the .php file that contains the element. However, lately, the few Wordpress themes I am working with come loaded with TONS of php files. How can I find this element quickly? Is there an app that I can use to track down the source file, once I find out what is the element?

I use a text editor PSPad that allows you to serach within a directory of files.

Notepad++ allows you to do this and I think there is a version for mac.
