Hi @gonzo, thanks for reaching out. The wp-search command runs on entries within the database.
If you pulled your site from Kinsta, this step should have already run for you. Please check your wp-config.php file to see if there are any entries that may be redirecting you to the remote site. If not, you can force the home/site url within wp-config.php without running a search and replace. That usually at least allows you to log in: Changing The Site URL – WordPress.org Forums
It looks admin dashboard URL has not been replaced with the local’s on my end.
