how can I filter a worksheet to only show cells with certain terms in them?
 

I'd like to filter an entire worksheet to only show me cells with a
certain term. For example "Apple Computer". I know I can do this by
column but I'd like to be able to do this over multiple columns. Does
Excel have a function for this?

If I want to look anywhere in column A to E for "apple computer", I'd insert a
helper column (column F???) and use a formula like:

=countif(a2:e2,"apple computer")
or
=countif(a2:e2,"*apple computer*")
And drag down the column.

Then I'd filter to show rows where this column is greater than 0.
