Default Removing leading single quote (') from cells with Search/Replace

I have put together a sheet full of formulas. When creating the formulas I
put a single quote in front of all the equal signs (ie. '=A1+A2) so that I
could see the formulas. My strategy was to do a Search/Replace to make the
conversion to formulas.

Search for: '=
Replace with: =

To my chagrin, the Search cannot find the single quote mark since it does
not show up in the cell. Please help!! My sheet has over 500 lines. I
can't go back through te cells one-by-one.
