    Try searching for that text via the Developers Toolkit under your Admin->Tools menu.
    You'll find it in one of your language files.

    Open your Admin> Tools> Developers Tool Kit

    Enter the terms to search for in the lower left hand box choose all files - click go
    - that will take you to a list of all the files that contain that particular phrase. find the language file and edit it.

    For some reason, the Developers Toolkit doesn't usually find what I need.

    So I logged in through SSH and typed "grep -r -H "quick find..." ./ > whereisfind.txt"

    Then opened whereisfind.txt and looked at it.

    That did the trick right away :)

    As Kim and I have explained above already, take the text you're looking for, copy it to your clipboard, open the Developers Toolkit, and paste your search text in the bottom search field, choose All Catalog Files, and click search. It's that simple.
    If for some reason that doesn't bring it up, shorten your search text to a subset, maybe one word instead of several, etc.

    ONLY if not using a custom template. If they have properly done the override, it would be /includes/languages/english/CUSTOM/header.php where CUSTOM is the directory for the new template.
