Cannot find declaration of Constant 1

[GKChesterton]

A table display routine in osCommerce has this bit of goodness:

$width = (int)(100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%';

I find that MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW is 3. I'd like to change that to 1. What I expect to find in the myriad lines of PHP from osCommerce is something like:

defi[s][/s]ne('MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW','3')

However, searching on the constant name only shows the line I've snipped and some immediate neighbors. Not a definition.
How can a search on all pages for "max_display_categories" (not case sensitive, not whole word) fail to bring up the declaration? How can I get to it?

Just do it from the admin section:

admin->configuration->Maximum Values->Categories to List Per Row

Thank you, Xaqte, for a good suggestion which I will follow.

I'd still like to know the answer, though; because I'm integrating osCommerce with a custom search application which does require a lot of code review, and because I must understand PHP generally.

because the definition is created at runtime dynamically through an iteration over the configuration table

i'm not familiar with oscommerce but a brief look at their code suggests that the dynamic code is in application-top.php (both in catalog/includes and catalog/admin/include).
in the former the code is found between lines 69 and 73. in the admin variant it is 65-69.

hope that helps.
