Find a module location in Joomla

Question

I want to find where is module not in the admin panel, but in raw files in joomla. I tried wingrep and so on but didn't find anything what expected. It is module that creates left menu, in index.php it is:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left_menu" style="xhtml"/>

When page loads it converts it to a menu with list items and anchors inside. I want to customize it but can't do it in the way i want from admin panel.

What is the best way to localize where the function lies.
