Default How to create a search function

Sort of. I don't want the user to have to use "find all" but that is the
idea I am looking for

Does using Excel's "Find All" do what you want? Click Edit/Find on Excel's
menu bar, type in your inventory word and click the Find All button. You
will get a mini-sheet showing all the data having that word in it. If you
need addition control over the search, click the Options button on the Find
dialog.

I want to, say create a box and in that box be able to type a word, then
have
everything in my inventory related to that word be shown to me. I don't
want
to have to use the filter option. Kind of like when you type a word into
google and it showes you all related items, well I want to be able to do
that
in an Excel worksheet, or even the whole workbook.

Not quite what you're asking, but maybe you could apply
Data|Filter|autofilter
to your range.

Then you could filter to show the rows you want.

I don't know if there is a function for this or how to create one, but
I want
to be able to search my inventory list. I would like to be able to,
type in
"Zanes" then have all things related to that word shown to me, such as:
stock
#, Quanty, Reels, Spools, and so on. If I were to type in "reels" then
I
would like to be able to see all the reels, that are in my inventory.
I hope
this makes sence.

Thank you
Emily
