Searching for Data in a Spreadsheet

The Search command helps you locate specific data in a spreadsheet quickly and easily.

I Search Dialog Box

The Search command can be executed either by tapping [Search] on the [Edit] menu or by
tapping the d button on the toolbar. Executing the Search command displays a search
dialog box like the one shown below, along with a soft keyboard.

The following explains the meaning of each item on the search dialog box.
