VBA for "Find" function
 
Hi there!
Would like to have a UDF / VBA code for a pragmatic search engine

Plan1 - The search criterions
Plan2 - My database. Here I have, among some columns, one named "Location"
and another one named "Port Code".
Plan3 - Blank. Here I'd like to have the search results.

In some extents, what I need is:

To have on Plan1 two text boxes (on B1 and B2, for instance) where I can
type what I want to look for.
Either I want to know what is the location code for the port of New York,
then I type "New York" on B1
Or I have a port code and want to know what "USNYC" stands for, I type it on
B2

So, when I have typed the condition I want (either Location or Port Code), I
click OK button, Excel looks for the data on my database on Plan2 and brings
all the results on Plan3.
I'd like also to have all the results in case I type only a part of a name,
i.e., if I type "Charl", I need to have as result: Charles, Charleston,
Charlotte, Saint Charles, Cape Charles...

Is it possible?
Please advise if you need further clarification.

Thanks a bunch,
Gustavo
