Default Multiple Worksheet Find

Is the following something that could be useful? It has helped my scenario:

I was able to find and use a very simple solution to search all worksheets
within a workbook. The users will be shown how to do this.

For now this is an easy solution.

Searching for a specific name in the Workbook within multiple worksheets:

1. Select Edit, Find
2. Within Find What €“ enter the last name eg.: Smith
3. Change Within cell to €śWorkbook€ť and check €śMatch Case€ť
4. Select Search €śBy Rows€ť
5. Click on Find All
Item is found
If name is not in Workbook, message is displayed advising this.

I want to know if it's possible to have a function that allows us to search
multiple Worksheets with minimum commands. You obviously use the CTRL - F, to
search a sheet or workbook, but we have 7 of them open at a time, that we
would like to search for data in.

The other part of that is, Is it possible to default the CTRL - F function
to default to search Workbook?
