I have some cells which look like the following:-
(they show three values from three other cells)
either 1, 30, 5
or 1, *, 5 say
where the "*" indicates a particularly large value

Now, I am trying to highlight those cells which contain an "*".
I am using SEARCH("*", A3) where A3 is the cell reference
However, all my cells whether they include an "*" or not are highlighted
What am I missing?
