i think their source is saved in a regular ascii file (with an .asp extenstion). From my experience, you can open and edit most asp files in notepad.
as for search files for text...i have linux emulator installed and use grep for searching text. that's overkill for just that one function.
You can use windows search to search the content file. As far as DOS, i've tested both FIND and FINDSTR. FINDSTR is better as it just lists the files that have matches by default. it also has a lot more command line options you can use when searching.
