Default Search for non-consecutive combination of words in Excel.

EX: I have a spreadsheet of body anatomy and physiology. I want to find every
cell (or row) in my data that contains the non-consecutive words brain AND
emotion, for instance.
Excel search will find one or the other, but not both words.
It could be done in several steps - ie -
Step1 - find all instances of 'brain' and copy them to new worksheet
Step2 - find all instances of 'emotion' in the secondary worksheet.
I don't have much experience with macros, though I have done a bit in Word.
