Default How to create a search function

I can send you a workbook that does basically what you want through the use of
Input Box that user types text or a number into.

Uses wild cards for search criteria.

Email me and I will send to you.

Change the AT and DOT for my address.

The person that is going to have to use the Inventory sheet is not good with
computers and gets really confused, also it will not bring up all things
related to the search. For example I want to be able to type in 3/4 and have
everything returned to me such as: #3/4, 1 3/4'', 3/4reel, ect

A pop up box would work, if it had a scroll list. Even going to the
inventory sheet would work if it was sorted with the returned items on the
top of the list.
