Default Search and return value

One way:

Public Sub FindAnywhere()
Dim vLook As Variant
Dim vMeans As Variant
Dim vOut As Variant
Dim rFound As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim nOut As Long

vLook = Array("A", "B", "C", "D", "E")
vMeans = Array("Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", _
"Dog", "Elephant")
nOut = 0
ReDim vOut(1 To 1)

For i = 0 To UBound(vLook)
Set rFound = Cells.Find( _
what:=vLook(i), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
nOut = nOut + 1
ReDim Preserve vOut(1 To nOut)
vOut(nOut) = vLook(i) & "=" & vMeans(i)
End If
Next i
If nOut Then _
ActiveCell.Resize(nOut).Value = _
Application.Transpose(vOut)
End Sub

Thanks to you both for your help.

Using J.E's advice i have achieved what i wanted to do. However, is it
possible to split my return value into cells below one another?

ie instead of returning

A=Apples, B=Bananas in one cell,

is it possible to split the answer into

A=Apples
B=Bananas

Thanks
