Find (in values) in Excel 2003 certainly finds text in a cell
containing a long text string.

I have written an Excel addin for dealing with cells containing long
text strings. It contains a simple cell viewer/editor to allow you to
read and edit the content of a cell.

You can download it from

Once it is installed just use the Escape key to start the cell text
edit form.
