Default Searching data in a column via Input Box

Hello I am new to Excel VBA and think I have thrown myself into the deep end
by trying to produce an advanced spreadsheet.

What I am trying to do is have a button on my spreadsheet that when clicked
opens up an Input Box, the user can input some data and then it searches a
column for the matching input.

For Example

Input Box "Hello"

I would like it to then search column A1:A20 for the Word Hello. Once found
just leave the cell selected and a message box saying the word has been found.

If anyone could do this for me I would be very greatful I have tried now for
2 days and finding it really tough.

Thanks for the help
