Textbox - search
 

Look at the find command

Dim rng as Range
set rng = Range("A1:A500").find(what:=Textbox1 & "*", _
After:=Range("A65536"), Lookin:=xlValues, _
Lookat:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlbyColumn, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
if not rng is nothing then
textbox2.Value = rng.row
Else
textbox2.value = 0
End if
