Just wrapping the single in doubles or using a tilde ~ both work for me in
XL2007 RTM. The only time this won't work is if you have a single apostrophe
as the first character, as Excel uses this to signify text entry (You'll
also notice it doesn't show|) adding a second will return 1 from the SEARCH
function

I'm trying to see if the text in a cell contains the single quote (or
apostrophe). How can I put that in my SEARCH function. Surrounding the
single quotes with double quotes, like this SEARCH("'", A1) doesn't work.
I
know there must be a forcing character to embed special characters in
string
literals, but the documentation with 2007 Beta 2 is somewhat lacking, or I
just can't find it.
