How can I do a search for some text in some directory from emacs?
Perhaps one can write an elisp function to conveniently do this?

You can use the `rgrep` command in Emacs to search for text in a
directory and its subdirectories.
- Type `M-x rgrep` and press RET, follow prompts
This function uses the `rgrep` command, which uses `grep` under the
hood.
Though there are other ways, like `M-x grep` or even `M-x find-dired`
You have it under Menu Tools, look there.

Emacs is so customizable that you can spend hours tweaking it and still not have written a single line of code 🤣.
