Default Find a String in a Cell

I want to get the value of a cell and search for a specified string in that
value. How could I do that? I have looked for a "find" command without
success.

For Excel, type "FIND worksheet function" into the Help box. Also look at the
SEARCH function.

For VBA, you may also use INSTR.
