Hello,
I hope someone can shed some light on this for me.
Why do you need to use ISNUMBER in the formula above?
Thanks in advance.

SEARCH() returns the position of the search string withing the string to be searched, i.e. a number, or a #VALUE! error if not found.
Therefore if the string is found the function ISNUMBER() will return TRUE
You probably don't need the IF() statement, this will return TRUE or FALSE
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Find Text, Within Text))

Did you have a look at XL's help and what SEARCH returns? Click F1 to find help
I get it! SEARCH actually returns a number which relates to the location of the "Find_Text".
Thanks for your help!
