XF 2.2 edit/modify the "requested user could not be found" message?

ive found the ability to edit just about everything else on the login failed page, but cannot figure out where/how to modify the red box error message when someone tries to log in but the user doesnt exist. Yes i realize there is a message at the bottom asking them to register if they havent already done so, but its missed regularly and nowhere near as obvious as the large red highlighted box containing the error message. Id simply like to add a sentence or blurb after the "the requested user 'xyz123" could not be found" to explain indicate they likely need to register if they are brand new or came from another site etc.

im sure its a simple solution and im just missing it but I didnt come up with much on a search either so maybe its something that isnt configurable?
 
Admin Panel -> Appearance -> Languages & phrases -> Search phrases

ha, id never known there was a separate place to search. id always used the box at the top right (which didnt return anything). this is handy, thank you!

edit to add, unfortunately editing that field didnt actually change anything on the display when I attempt to log in with an invalid username?

Same idea of searching and replacing. I had just used the text from your title.

This would be the phrase you're looking for:
requested_user_x_not_found
