public SearchFoundFlags Search( int sheetIndex, string searchString, bool caseSensitive, bool exactMatch, bool alternateSearch, bool useWildcards, bool includeCellText, bool includeNotes, bool includeTags, bool reverseSearching, int startRowIndex, int startColumnIndex, int endRowIndex, int endColumnIndex, bool searchAsBlockRange, ref int foundRowIndex, ref int foundColumnIndex )
The searchAsBlockRange will limit the search to the range as if it is a block of cells. If the search starts with row 0, column 1 and ends at row 3, column 3 then column 0 would not be searched and columns after 3 would not be searched. With searchAsBlockRange set to true, the default search will go from left to right first and then top to bottom. An alternate search would go from top to bottom and then left to right.
If searchAsBlockRange is false then the search will include all cells in the sheet after the specified cell (including cells not in the range).
There are two cases where the searchAsBlockRange parameter is useful:
case 1: alternateSearch = false, searchAsBlockRange is only used when endColumnIndex < startColumnIndex (invalid):
- searchAsBlockRange = true: nothing is adjusted and returns an error value (invalid range)
- searchAsBlockRange = false: range is adjusted as follows:
startColumnIndex = 0
startRowIndex++
case 2: alternateSearch = true, searchAsBlockRange is only used when endRowIndex < startRowIndex (invalid):
- searchAsBlockRange = true: nothing is adjusted and returns an error value (invalid range)
- searchAsBlockRange = false: range is adjusted as follows:
startRowIndex = 0
startColumnIndex++
