Default vlookup question

Hi all.
I'm not entirely familiar with vlookup so please bear with me.
I'm interested in searching approximately 35 worksheets in a workbook for a
specific string. Once I find the right string, I want to search that page for
2 or 3 specific elements. Once I find all of those elements I want to compare
the source number (which will be on the base worksheet) with the destination
number (which will be one of the 35 worksheets I'm searching).
I used "multi worksheet search" as my search criteria on the worksheet
functions newsgroup and came up with a discussion from back in mid-August,
the 16th through the 17th. It was a UDF for vlookup, or mvlookup. Harlan's
was a volatile function.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups...xp=&sloc=en-us

Harlan, and Toppers both responded to a person named Chris147's questions
about how to something similar-- but of course, mine is just different enough.
While I'm game to use a volatile function, I'd like to avoid it, as I've
read from the msdn library that it will not automatically update as the
destination sheets change.

How can I perform the above described task set?
Thank you for your time, and responses.
Best.
