Default Searching

I use a macro that searches a spresdsheet for cells containing certain text.
I use the find like this:

..Cells.Find("GBP", LookIn:=xlValues)

the "GBP" is supposed to be unique in the spreadsheet in the sens that on
that worksheet only one cell has exactly that text. However other cells have
text like:
"Float GBP" or GBP(index)" and this causes problems becuase then the find
function does not always find the correct cell. I know it is possible to
change in the spreadsheet but I keep getting new info and it is not possible
to change it all manually. Is there any way of doing this, I mean search for
a unique cell content? I would be most grateful for any assistance. Thank you
very much!
