Default Discovering No-BREAK Space in cell Data

Having imported text data from a notepad file into excel as a column (A1:A5)
I had the word "eating" in A1 cell.

Using the formula =IF(A1="eating",TRUE,FALSE) in B1 gave FALSE
Also =IF(A1="eating ",TRUE,FALSE) in B1 gave
FALSE (note the extra blank after the ing )

However typing eating into cell A1 gives TRUE

Using =MID(A1,7,1) returns a blank cell which has character code
value of 160 (ASCII decimal) and from the INSERT/SYMBOLS Tabe it says it is a
"NO_BREAK SPACE"

How do I find all such possible occurences in my data since it can "ruin"
and confuse expected search results?
