How to Use the SEARCH Function in Microsoft Excel (Find Text)

The SEARCH function in Microsoft Excel helps you search and locate text in another cell. The function returns a number of the starting position of the text in the other cell, if it's there. For example, if you search for "document" in another cell that contains the phrase, "my document," the SEARCH function would return a number 4, since "document" starts at the fourth character.
