Default Searching Multiple Excel Workbooks

Maybe it's time to dump excel and put your data into a real database system
(from a non-real database user!).

If you have MS Access, maybe you can keep the data in one central location and
let the users get to the records they need.

I was wondering if there are any add-ins or simple programs that would make
it easier to search for information in Excel workbooks? I use a nultiple
workbook system that has thousands of rows of information that I need to make
more user-friendly for others to search for the information within them.
Ideally the information would be pulled up within a worksheet formatted
similar to what we use. Any suggestions?
