Remarks

The search has these qualifications:

This method only searches the cells in the data area, not the headers.
This method only checks against the formatted string -- the Text in the cell, not the Value.
This method only searches the specified cells in one sheet.
All the cells that contain data that can be represented as a string by the Text property of that cell are searched and that includes hidden and locked cells.
Cell notes and cell tags are not part of the search.

This property is available at run time only.
