To search for a specific text string or number, use the search method to search the text in cells with the specified criteria, as shown in the following example:
Use the SearchCondition to customize the search parameters.
The search result is an object with the following properties:
searchFoundFlag: An enumeration that specifies what is matched.
foundSheetIndex: The index of the sheet in which a match is found.
foundRowIndex: The index of the row at which a match is found.
foundColumnIndex: The index of the column at which a match is found.
foundString: The found string.
