Search for specific file or text on an external mapped drive

I am looking for a script or command to search for specific text which is either in a file name or within documents, however it's on a mapped external drive on a MAC.

This is an external drive connected wirelessly, and it's showing up under the SHARED heading in finder.

When I try to drag it to the Terminal Window nothing happens, and when I type ls/ volumes, that drive is not listed.
